Bh. Kim et al., Homolytic alkylations of highly electron-deficient aromatic compounds involving electron and proton transfers, J CHEM R-S, (12), 1998, pp. 826-827
Regioselective homolytic alkylations leading to substitution for highly ele
ctron-deficient aromatics such as fluoro- or trifluoromethyl-substituted be
nzaldehydes and benzonitriles are observed via electron transfer chain proc
esses in the presence of 1,4-diazabicyclo [2.2.2] octane.
