Acyl-substituted methyl radicals (RCOCH2.; R = H, Me, Ph), generated by photolysis of RCOCH2HgCl, add to alkenes, enol ethers, or vinyl sulfides to give adduct radicals that are readily trapped by PhSSPh to yield a three-component condensation product.The presence of an alkali metal carbonate is crucial in preventing side reactions resulting in the conversion of the mercurial to RCOCH3 by PhSH formed in the photolysis.
