Abstract

Modern synthetic chemistry requires a new efficient method- ology for the introduction of carbon monoxide into organic molecules. Free-radical carbonylation has considerable poten- tial and indeed we have previously demonstrated free-radical formylation starting with organic halides.1 The development of methods for construction of five-membered carbocycles largely owes its importance to the widespread occurrence of such substructures in natural and ...
