An Efficient, Selective, and Reducing Agent-Free Copper Catalyst for the Atom-Transfer Radical Addition of Halo Compounds to Activated Olefins
Efficient and selective ATRA reactions Of CCl4, C r(4), TsCl (Ts = tosyl), or Cl3CC Et-2 with activated olefins (styrene, methyl methacrylate, n-butyl methacrylate, tert-butyl methacrylate) using the Tp(tBu)Cu(NCMe) complex as a catalyst have been achieved in the absence of any reductant and with low catalyst loadings.
