An ovel radical 1,2-formylfunctionalization of alkenes involving 1,2(4,5)-formyl migration triggered by addition of various carbon-and heteroatom-centered radicals to alkenes has been developed for the first time,thus providing straightforwarda ccess to diverse b-functionalized aldehydes with good efficiency,r emarkable selectivity,a nd excellent functional group tolerance.A nalogous transformations mediated by ak eto-carbonyl migration have also been effected under similar conditions.This method was used to access ring systems including various benzannulated nine-, ten-, and eleven-membered rings,c omplex 6-5(6,7)-6(5) fused rings, and bridged rings with diverse functionalities.
