α-Imino esters are useful precursors for the synthesis of a variety of types of natural and
unnatural α-amino acid derivatives, with a wide range of biological activities. Due to the …

The intermolecular radical addition to the carbon atom of imine derivatives has received
much less attention until recently, although the use of radical reaction in organic synthesis …

The sequential transformation of arynes into ortho-disubstituted arenes is achieved by a one-
pot procedure using formamides and dialkylzincs. This reaction proceeded via a route …

A library of unnatural α‐amino acid derivatives has been prepared via the
hydrofunctionalization of the C= N bond in a set of compounds belonging to the family of α …

Interest in the reaction of alkylzinc complexes with O2 has persisted for over 150 years since
the pioneering studies by Frankland.[1] The nature of the products, however, has been the …

The reactions of dialkylzincs (Me2Zn, Et2Zn, and nBu2Zn) with oxygen have been
investigated by EPR spectroscopy using spin‐trapping techniques. The use of 5 …

A novel migration–addition sequence was discovered for the reaction of enantioenriched N-
tert-butanesulfinyl iminoacetate 1a with functionalized benzylzinc bromide reagents …

Tellurium is a unique element, and the properties of tellurium-containing compounds are
quite different from those of their sulfur and selenium homologues. In recent years, major …

This review summarizes the interesting results obtained during the last decade in the radical
aminoalkylation of a wide range of nucleophilic radicals (deriving from hydrocarbons, ethers …

Phtalimidomethyl iodide and substituted maleimidomethyl iodide were used as radical
precursors in dialkylzinc‐mediated radical addition to diethyl fumarate. The reactions led …
