Abstract

Abstract The reaction of alkyl, aryl and vinylthallium (III) _diacetates with nitronate ions gives moderate to good yields of the carbon carbon bonded products. The reaction of the alkyl and arylthallium (III) analogs proceeds through radical intermediates which are generated by electron-transfer activation of the thallium carbon bond.
