Tian, Yunfei published the artcileH-Bonding-promoted radical addition of simple alcohols to unactivated alkenes, Quality Control of 2240-88-2, the publication is Green Chemistry (2017), 19(21), 5230-5235, database is CAplus.
A H-Bonding-induced radical addition of simple alcs. such as ethanol, cyclohexanol, 2,2,2-trifluoroethan-1-ol, etc. to unactivated olefins e.g., 4-BrC6H4C(O)O(CH2)3HC=CH2 was achieved. It effectively solved the long-standing problems of reactivity and selectivity in this type of reaction. The hydroxyalkylation occurred via site-specific cleavage of the α-hydroxyl-C-H bond in alcs. This method allows a highly atom-economical, operationally simple and environmentally benign access to diverse alcs. such as 6-phenylhexan-2-ol, 1-cyclooctylethanol, 3-(1-hydroxycyclopentyl)propyl 4-bromobenzoate, etc. diols, e.g., 4,5-dihydroxypentyl 4-bromobenzoate and even polyfluorinated alcs., e.g., 7,7,7-trifluoro-6-hydroxyheptyl 4-bromobenzoate. These useful chems. are traditionally synthesized by using com. unavailable organometallics via complex operations. In contrast, they can be facilely obtained through this protocol utilizing widely available starting materials.
