Highly efficient atom transfer radical addition reactions with a RuIII complex as a catalyst precursor.
The combination of the air-stable RuIII complex [Cp*RuCl2(PPh3)] with AIBN can be used to catalyze the atom transfer radical addition reactions of polychlorinated compounds and of sulfonyl chlorides to olefins with unprecedented turnover numbers of up to 44 000.
