Radical reaction using an organocopper reagent derived from ethyl bromodifluoroacetate

In our previous work, reaction of ethyl bromodifluoroacetate (1) in the presence of Cu powder with olefins activated by an electron-withdrawing group gave the Michael-type adducts through an anionic intermediate. The same reaction with non-activated olefins was found to give addition products by a r...

Summary:In our previous work, reaction of ethyl bromodifluoroacetate (1) in the presence of Cu powder with olefins activated by an electron-withdrawing group gave the Michael-type adducts through an anionic intermediate. The same reaction with non-activated olefins was found to give addition products by a radical mechanism. The radical intermediate from alpha-methyl-styrene was stabilized by a benzene ring and gave novel dimerization products. This reaction with 1-decene provided a convenient route to 2,2-difluorododecanoic acid.
