Oxidative catalysis using the stoichiometric oxidant as a reagent: an efficient strategy for single-electron-transfer-induced tandem anion-radical reactions

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. 2014 Sep 8;53(37):9944-8. doi: 10.1002/anie.201403776. Epub 2014 Jul 28.

Abstract

Oxidative single-electron transfer-catalyzed tandem reactions consisting of a conjugate addition and a radical cyclization are reported, which incorporate the mandatory terminal oxidant as a functionality into the product.

Keywords: Michael addition; cyclization; domino reactions; electron transfer; radical reactions.
