Generation of α-alkylthio radicals by photoinduced one-electron oxidation of α-stannyl sulfides and their use for carbon-carbon bond formation

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1997.169

Cation radicals, generated from α-stannyl sulfides by the photoinduced single electron transfer, cleave into α-alkylthio radical intermediates with the elimination of the stannyl group. The α-alkylthio radicals thus formed are utilized for carbon-carbon b
