Generation of Acyl Radicals from 1-Oxidoalkylidenechromium(0) Complexes by Treatment with Bis(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedionato)copper(II) and Their Reactions with Olefins

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1994.2017

Tetramethylammonium pentacarbonyl(1-oxidoalkylidene)chromium(0) complexes are oxidized with bis(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedionato)copper(II) to generate acyl radicals which react electron-deficient olefins, giving intermolecular addition products.
