Notes:
In the few short years since the discovery that organoboranes undergo facile free-radical substitution, application of these reactions has become a major new area of synthetic utility. Organoboranes undergo a wide variety of free-radical reactions such as autoxidation to the alcohol or hydroperoxide, 1, 4 addition to α,β-unsaturated derivatives, addition to disulfides, and oxygen-induced radical coupling. It is evident that organoboranes constitute a versatile new source of free radicals and that these reactions can be readily controlled to give very clean syntheses. The application of these reactions will be discussed.
