The first organocatalyst-mediated enantioselective substitution of racemic iodoalkanes under radical conditions
摘要:
We have demonstrated for the first time an organocatalyst-mediated enantioselective substitution of racemic iodoalkanes at either a tertiary or a secondary stereogenic center leading to the corresponding optically active products with a tertiary or a quaternary allylated stereogenic center under radical conditions.

The intramolecular hydroacylation of 1,2-disubstituted alkenes was considered to be a challenging task due to the side reactions resulted from the lack of additional substituent at 1-position and the low activity caused by the steric hindrance of substituent at 2-position, and an asymmetric version has not been considered possible due to problems associated with the racemization of the products. We
