Generation of beta-keto radicals from cyclopropanols catalyzed by AgNO3
Various Beta-keto radicals are generated from cyclopropanols by treatment with a catalytic amount of AgNO3 and (NH4)(2)S2O8 as a reoxidant in the presence of pyridine. Thus, generated beta-keto radicals react with alkenes to yield addition products.
