Open full text 17 citations

Abstract

Abstract The benzoyl peroxide-catalyzed reaction of 2-bromoalkanoic acids such as bromoacetic, 2-bromopropionic, and 2-bromobutyric acid with 1-alkenes was found to proceed through the addition of the C–Br bond across the double bond followed by cyclization affording 4-alkanolides in good yields.
