An operationally simple method to affect an atom-transfer radical addition of commercially available ICH2Bpin to terminal alkenes has been developed. The intermediate iodide can be transformed in a one-pot process into the corresponding cyclopropane upon treatment with a fluoride source. This method is highly selective for the cyclopropanation of unactivated terminal alkenes over non-terminal alkenes and electron-deficient alkenes. Due to the mildness of the procedure, a wide range of functional groups such as esters, amides, alcohols, ketones, and vinylic cyclopropanes are well tolerated.

Lewis base-borane complexes are shown to be potent hydrogen atom donors in radical chain reduction reactions. Results obtained in 1H, 11B, and 13C NMR measurements and kinetic experiments support a complex reaction mechanism involving the parent borane as well as its initial reaction products as active hydrogen atom donors. Efficient reduction reactions of iodides, bromides, and xanthates in apolar solvents rely on initiator systems generating oxygen-centered radicals under thermal conditions and pyridine-borane complexes carrying solubilizing substituents. In contrast to tin hydride reagents, the pyridine-boranes reduce xanthates faster than the corresponding iodides.
Thermal and photochemical fragmentation of α,α-dialkoxybenzyl radicals: A comparison of the thermal reactions with laser induced fragmentations by using laser flash and laser-jet photolyses

The thermal and photochemical cleavage of α,α-dialkoxybenzyl radicals has been examined using a combination of techniques, including two-laser two-color laser flash photolysis and the laser-jet technique. For the parent α,α-dimethoxybenzyl radical photofragmentation occurs with a quantum yield of 0.80. The study of several unsymmetrically substituted radicals (e.g., methoxyisopropoxy) leads to the conclusion that the photoinduced fragmentation shows no selectivity. In contrast, the thermal decomposition of the radicals shows that fragmentation follows the expected radical stabilities, i.e., isopropyl > ethyl > methyl, the differences being almost exclusively due to changes in the activation energy. By comparing with literature data for methyl elimination it is possible to estimate the rate constants for fragmentation at 56°C as 213, 1380, and 16 600 s-1 for methyl, ethyl, and isopropyl elimination.
