F. Foubelo et al., ENOLIC RADICAL DERIVED FROM ACETIC-ACID - A USEFUL RADICAL ALTERNATIVE TO ACETATE ENOLATE IN MICHAEL-TYPE REACTIONS, Tetrahedron, 49(37), 1993, pp. 8465-8470
The reaction of iodoacetic acid 1 with tributyltin chloride and sodium
borohydride in the presence of different electrophilic olefins 2 (met
hyl, allyl or tert-butyl acrylates, N,N-dimethyl or N,N-di-iso-propyl
acrylamides, acrylonitrile, methyl methacrylate, methacrylonitrile and
1,1-dichloroethylene) and AIBN as an initiator yields, after treatmen
t with aqueous sodium fluoride, the corresponding products 3 through a
radical Michael-type process.
