Triethylborane-Induced Radical Addition of Halogenated Compounds to Alkenes and Alkynes in Water

All articles of this category Treatment of a mixture of α -iodo- γ -butyrolactone and phenylacetylene in water with a catalytic amount of triethylborane provided the corresponding adduct in good yield via intermolecular radical addition reaction. The triethylborane-mediated radical reaction in aqueous media could be performed under acidic or basic conditions. radical - triethylborane - aqueous media - alkene - alkyne
