Abstract

Abstract: Addition of trichloromethyl radicals (generated from BrCCl3 or CCl4) to a variety of alkenes in the presence of hydrogenatom donors has been explored. The use of phosphites as hydrogenatom donors was shown to provide a mild, novel and technically clean approach to trichloroalkanes. Key words: addition reactions, alkenes, phosphorus, radicals, radical reactions
