difunctionalization of alkenes has received considerable attention as an efficient and straightforward way to increase molecular complexity. However, examples of the difunctionalization of alkenes initiated by the intermolecular addition of alkoxycarbonyl radicals providing substituted alkanoates are still rare. Herein, we present the visible light-driven metal-free divergent difunctionalization of alkenes triggered
Efficient Activation of Acetals, Aldehydes, and Imines toward Silylated Nucleophiles by the Combined Use of Catalytic Amounts of [Rh(COD)Cl]<sub>2</sub>and TMS-CN under Almost Neutral Conditions
In the presence of a catalytic amount of a transition metal compound such as [Rh(COD)Cl]2, Co(acac)2, or NiCl2, trimethylsilyl cyanide smoothly reacts with acetals to form α-methoxy carbonitriles in good yields. In the coexistence of catalytic amounts of [Rh(COD)Cl]2 and TMS-CN, silyl enol ethers or ketene silyl acetals react with acetals, aldehyes, or imines to yield the corresponding coupling products in good yields under almost neutral conditions.
