Electrochemical Atom Transfer Radical Addition of Polychloroalkanes to Olefins Promoted by 4,4-Di-tert-butyl Bipyridine

Fei Lian et al.

Summary: A new electrochemical strategy utilizing paired electrolysis and halogen bonding activation has been developed for the atom transfer radical addition (ATRA) of polychloroalkanes across olefins. By employing readily accessible 4,4-di-tert-butyl bipyridine (dtbpy) as a halogen bonding acceptor, the reduction potential of C-Cl bonds could be positively shifted by 110 mV. This approach allows for a wide substrate scope and excellent functional group compatibility, enabling the addition of various terminal and internal alkenes.
