Oxidatively intercepting heck intermediates: Pd-catalyzed 1,2- and 1,1-arylhalogenation of alkenes

This communication describes the development of two Pd-catalyzed reactions for the arylchlorination of diverse α-olefins by oxidatively intercepting Heck intermediates. Depending on the nature of the oxidant and the reaction conditions, these transformati

MECHANISM OF RADICAL TELOMERIZATION OF ETHYLENE WITH 1,1-DICHLOROETHANE

The mechanism of the radical telomerization of ethylene with 1,2-dichloroethane was investigated. 1,2-Dichloroethane reacts with telomeric alkyl radicals with cleavage both of the C - H bond and of the C - Cl bond, and the ratio of the corresponding rate constants is 2.8 (100 deg C).It was shown that, in addition to the chlorine-containing telomers, the mixture of products from the reaction initiated by benzoyl peroxide contains alkyl- and dialkylbenzenes.
