Abstract

A remarkable addition effect of bases, like AcOK, was observed in the radical addition of cyanoacetates to alkenes catalyzed by a Mn (II)/Co (II)/O 2 redox system. Thus, a carbon radical from ethyl cyanoacetate could be catalytically generated by adding AcOK to the Mn (II)/Co (II)/O 2 redox system, even at room temperature, and the resulting carbon radical readily added to 1-octene to give an adduct, ethyl 2-cyanodecanoate, in good yield, while ...
