Mechanisms of Mn(OAc)3-based oxidative free-radical additions and cyclizations

The mechanistic details of Mn(OAc)(3)-based oxidative free-radical additions and cyclizations are reviewed. The mechanisms of electron transfer to generate radicals, electron transfer to convert the radicals to oxidized products, and further oxidation of the products are covered. (c) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.
