Abstract

In this account, our studies on radical reactions that are promoted by dimethylzinc and air are described. Advantages of this reagent and differences from conventional radical initiators, such as triethylborane, are discussed.

Keywords: C(sp3)-H bond functionalization; carbon-carbon bond formation; dimethylzinc; radical reactions; umpolung.
