Abstract

CuO catalyzed additions of ethyl cyanoacetate, initiated thermally and by di-tert-butyl peroxide, to 1-decene and ethyl 10-undecylenoate were investigated. The CuO catalyzed reaction proceeds already at 80°C at a high rate, produces 1∶1 adducts in high yields and represents the first example of catalysis in radical addition reactions of non-halogenated compounds.
