Copper catalyzed atom transfer radical cascade reactions in the presence of free-radical diazo initiators as reducing agents.
Exceptional activity of [Cu(II)(TPMA)Cl][Cl] (TPMA = tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine) complex in atom transfer radical addition (ATRA) of CCl(4) to 1,6-dienes followed by sequential atom transfer radical cyclization (ATRC) in the presence of free-radical diazo initiators as reducing agents is reported.
