Abstract
A full study of the use of phenyl selenoesters as precursors to acyl radicals and their subsequent participation in intermolecular and intramolecular alkene addition reactions is detailed. Primary alkyl-, vinyl-, and aryl- substituted acyl radicals generated by Bu 3 SnH treatment of the corresponding phenyl selenoesters participate cleanly un intermolecular addition reactions with alkenes bearing electron-withdrawing or radical-stabilizing substituents at rates that exceed those of the potentially competitive decarbonylation or reduction
