Organic free radical chemistry
University of Michigan
Free radicals are highly reactive towards other substances and play an important role in many chemical or biological processes. This Thematic Series presents a broad spectrum of articles extending the current knowledge in the field of organic free radicals. The range of synthetic reactions includes aerobic radical multifunctionalization of alkenes, metal-free aerobic oxidations and metal-catalyzed oxygenations, cascade radical reactions, photoinduced polymerizations and brominations. The series also includes computational studies on intermolecular reactions.
