Intermolecular Radical Addition of 1-Alkoxyalkyl Radicals to Vinyl Derivatives

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1993.841

1-Alkoxyalkyl radicals 1R²(OR³)C<*>>, which were generated from 1-alkoxy-1-(phenylseleno)alkanes 1R²C(OR³)SePh> and n-Bu3SnH in the precence of AIBN, participate effectively in intermolecular addition to vinyl compounds bearing electron-withdrawing or radical stabilizing substituents to give the corresponding ethers in moderate to good yields.
