Self-terminating, oxidative radical cyclizations

Molecules. 2004 May 31;9(6):480-97. doi: 10.3390/90600480.

Abstract

The recently discovered novel concept of self-terminating, oxidative radical cyclizations, through which alkynes can be converted into carbonyl compounds under very mild reaction conditions using O-centered inorganic and organic radicals as oxidants, is described.
