Reductive coupling of sterically hindered neopentyl bromides with activated alkenes mediated by the in situ generated Ni(0) complexes along with some feedstock is achieved in good yield under the mild conditions. This practically useful method of C(sp3)?C(sp3) bond formation provides a complementary approach to the traditional conjugate addition of preformed organometallic reagents to electrophilic olefins, which often requires cryogenic temperature and rigorous exclusion of air and moisture. The robust application of this reductive coupling reaction was demonstrated in a formal synthesis of stereodivergent (?)-copacamphor and (?)-ylangocamphor, which are valuable intermediates for a class of tricyclo[5.3.0.03,8]decane sesquiterpenes. Moreover, this convenient protocol resulted in a facile access to the homolog of Corey aldehyde en route to prostaglandins, implying the possible involvement of radical-like species.

Using the 5-hexenyl radical (2) as "radical clock" the rates of radical additions to methyl acrylate (5a) and acrylonitril (5b) are measured by the "mercury method" (Table 1).Alkyl radicals are trapped by the alkylmercury hydride 1 with rate constants of at least 107 l*mol-1*s-1.
