Desulfuration as a source of alkyl radicals: The addition of alkylsulfanyl radicals to isocyanides gives the corresponding alkyl radicals. This methodology can replace the usual tin-mediated radical procedures and allows for the generation of tertiary, secondary, and even nonstabilized primary radicals that can be used efficiently in reductive defunctionalizations and intermolecular additions to electron-rich olefins (see scheme).
