title: Intramolecular homolytic displacements. 30. Functional decarbonylative transformations of aldehydes via homolytically induced decomposition of unsaturated peroxyacetals
abstract: Homolytically induced decompositions of unsaturated peroxyacetals, synthesized from aldehydes, gave alkoxyalkoxyl radicals that yielded alkyl radicals by rapid beta-scission. The latter radicals could react with several types of "transfer agents" to smoothly bring about homolytic decarbonylative functional group transformations of aldehydes into halides, hydrocarbons, xanthates, alkanenitriles, 2-alkyl-3-chloromaleic anhydrides, 1-phenylalk-1-ynes, and ethyl 2-alkylpropenoates.
