In this study, we present an inexpensive, stable, and easily available boryl radical source (BPhNa) employed in a Halogen Atom Transfer (XAT) methodology. This mild and convenient strategy unlocks the use of not only alkyl iodides as radical precursors but also of the more challenging alkyl and aryl bromides to generate C-centered radicals. The generated radicals were further engaged in the -Markovnikov hydroalkylation of electronically diverse styrenes, therefore achieving the formation of C(sp)-C(sp) and C(sp)-C(sp) bonds. A series of experimental and computational studies revealed the prominent role of BPhNa in the halogen abstraction step.
在本研究中,我们展示了一种用于卤原子转移(XAT)方法的廉价、稳定且易于获得的硼自由基源(BPhNa)。这种温和且便捷的策略不仅开启了使用烷基碘作为自由基前体的大门,还能使用更具挑战性的烷基和芳基溴化物来生成碳中心自由基。所生成的自由基进一步参与了多种电子性质不同的苯乙烯的反马氏氢烷基化反应,从而实现了C(sp³)-C(sp³)键和C(sp³)-C(sp²)键的形成。一系列实验和计算研究揭示了BPhNa在卤素夺取步骤中的重要作用。
