POLAR EFFECTS IN FREE-RADICAL REACTIONS. A NEW TYPE OF HOMOLYTIC AROMATIC ALKYLATION BY SILVER CATALYZED OXIDATION OF ACETONE BY PEROXYDISULPHATE IN THE PRESENCE OF OLEFINS.

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(00)85902-X

Silver catalyzed peroxydisulphate oxidation of acetone in the presence of olefins and protonated heteroaromatic bases leads to compound I via addition of acetonyl radical to the olefin and scavenging of the resulting radical adduct by the aromatic base.
