ATOM TRANSFER CYCLIZATION OF α-HALONITRILE AND α-HALOCARBONYL COMPOUNDS

Article abstract of DOI:10.3987/COM-89-5305

α-Halonitriles and α-haloesters reacted with internal olefin in the presence of KI to give cyclized products in good yields via radical intermediate. α-Iodonitrile 1b afforded 2b and 2b' merely upon heating.
