title: Base-Induced Radical Carboamination of Nonactivated Alkenes with Aryldiazonium Salts.
abstract: A new transition-metal-free version of the Meerwein arylation has been developed. The key feature of this carboamination-type reaction is the slow base-controlled generation of aryl radicals from aryldiazonium tetrafluoroborates, so that a sufficient quantity of diazonium ions remains to enable efficient trapping of the alkyl radical adduct resulting from aryl radical addition to the alkene. Under strongly basic conditions, diazoanhydrides are likely to take over the role of the nitrogen-centered radical scavengers.
