Abstract
Phenylboronic acid was shown to mediate the free-radical multicomponent carbo-cyanation of olefins and the addition of alkyl iodides onto vinylsulfones. Reaction of the boronic acid with di-tertbutyl hyponitrite generates an aryl radical, which was able to selectively abstract the iodine atom from alkyl iodide precursors to form the key C-centered radical precursor. Arylboronic acids may thus be considered as efficient tin surrogates in these free-radical processes.
