title: Copper-catalyzed radical coupling of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with terminal alkenes for the synthesis of tetracarbonyl compounds.
abstract: A novel and efficient copper-catalyzed radical cross-coupling of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with terminal alkenes for the synthesis of tetracarbonyl compounds with a quaternary carbon atom has been developed. Mechanistically, this transformation involves the construction of two C-C bonds and two C[double bond, length as m-dash]O bonds in a one-pot process. The reaction tolerates a wide range of functional groups and proceeds under mild conditions.
