Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(00)82093-6

Alkyl radicals are obtained from alkyl iodides under very simple conditions and with cheap reagents: i) H2O2 and DMSO; ii) H2O2 and acetone; iii) t-BuOOH.The alkyl radicals can be utilized for selective syntheses, mainly selective formation of carbon-carb
