Four-component radical-dual-difunctionalization (RDD) and decarbonylative alkylative peroxidation of two different alkenes with aliphatic aldehydes and TBHP.
Abstract
From difunctionalization of a single alkene to radical-dual-difunctionalization of two different alkenes! Abundant aliphatic aldehydes were readily decarbonylated into alkyl radicals for the cascade construction of C(sp3)-C(sp3), C(sp3)-C(sp3) and C(sp3)-O bonds via double radical addition and radical-radical coupling, following the intrinsic nucleophilic/electrophilic reactivity of both the radicals and alkenes.
