L. Forti et al., FE-0 INITIATED HALOGEN ATOM-TRANSFER RADICAL-ADDITION OF METHYL 2-BR-2-CL-CARBOXYLATES TO OLEFINS, Tetrahedron letters, 37(12), 1996, pp. 2077-2078
The halogen atom transfer radical addition (HATRA) of methyl 2-Br-2-Cl
-carboxylates to alkenes is obtained in good yields by catalytic amoun
ts of iron filings in dimethylformamide/1,2-dichloroethane at 80 degre
es C under argon.
