ChemInform Abstract: INFRARED SPECTRA OF THE ISOBUTYL AND NEOPENTYL RADICALS. CHARACTERISTIC SPECTRA OF PRIMARY, SECONDARY, AND TERTIARY ALKYL RADICALS
An efficient and broadly applicable process is reported for the direct alkylation of heteroarene C–H bonds, based on the copper-catalyzed addition of alkyl radicals generated from activated secondary and tertiary alkyl bromides to a range of arenes, and their benzo-fused derivatives.
