Abstract

A Strategy for Generating Alkyl Radicals from Aliphatic Esters and Lactones via Sequential Hydrolysis and Photoinduced Decarboxylation. -Alkyl radicals generated from substrates (I) and (IX) react with acrylonitrile, tert-dodecanethiol, or 1,4-dicyanobenzene to afford the corresponding addition, reduction, and substitution products. -(SAITO, H.; KANETAKE, T.; OSAKA, K.; MAEDA, K.; MORITA, T.; YOSHIMI*, Y.; Tetrahedron Lett. 56 (2015) 13, 1645-1648, http://dx.
