Copper-catalyzed radical approach to allenyl iodides

Chem Commun (Camb). 2019 Sep 26;55(78):11774-11777. doi: 10.1039/c9cc05853b.

Abstract

A copper-catalyzed 1,4-addition reaction of sulfonyl iodides with 1,3-enynes affording various allenyl halides in high yields under mild conditions has been developed. Mechanistic studies showed that the reaction proceeds through a radical mechanism.
