Abstract
A new one-step formation of substituted alpha-cyano-gamma-lactones via addi tion of alpha-hydroxyalkyl radicals to methyl acrylates is presented. The r eaction is induced by photo electron transfer (PET) catalysis and proceeds, in comparison to commonly applied methods, under mild, non-oxidizing condi tions in a neutral medium.
