Decarboxylative Redox Bicyclo[1.1.1]pentylation: Benchmarking the Influence of Backbone Substituents on C-C Bond-Forming Reactions
{{output}}
The allylic substitution of α-(trifluoromethyl)styrenes was used to assess the feasibility of C-C bond formation to the bridgehead of bicyclo[1.1.1]pentanes via redox-active esters that fragment upon single-electron reduction. We observed that a 3-fluoro subs... ...
