Abstract

1 2 80 C 3 dition products 3 were formed in high yields (53-74%) with little or no competitive acyl radical reduction (0-5%) 27 or decarbonylation (0%) in reactions that proved surprisingly independent of additional alkene substitution (Table I, entries 4-6). More important was the observation that the slow rate of aryl acyl radical reduction2'allowed the use of standard solution reaction conditions (method B: 1.3 equiv of Bu3SnH, 0.1 equiv of ...
