Microwave-assisted Tertiary Carbon Radical Reaction for Construction of Quaternary Carbon Center

Microwave-assisted tertiary carbon radical reaction was developed. The reaction of tertiary xanthates with electron deficient alkenes was prompted by microwave irradiation, and various coupling products possessing quaternary carbon centers were obtained in good yields. The reaction was conducted under simple and common radical condition except for microwave irradiation, and the reaction completed within 5 min. Microwave-assisted tertiary carbon radical reaction for construction of quaternary carbon center was developed. The reaction of tertiary xanthates with electron deficient alkenes was prompted by microwave irradiation, and various C-C bond-forming products with the quaternary carbon center were obtained in good yields. The reaction condition is simple and the reaction completes within 5 min.
