Radical-chain reductive alkylation of electron-rich alkenes mediated by silanes in the presence of thiols as polarity-reversal catalysts
In the presence of a thiol catalyst, triphenylsilane mediates the reductive alkylation of electron-rich terminal alkenes R1R2C=CH2 by organic halides R3Hal via electrophilic carbon-centred radicals R3?/sup
