Linear controller synthesis approach

Yet another application concerns the synthesis of functionalised linear structures through the controlled translocation of the initial adduct radical. The principle of this approach is detailed in Scheme 17 for the first transformation, where the final elimination of a methylsulfonyl radical provides vinyl bromide 27 [36]. Internal hydrogen atom aljstraction is not normally an intended pathway it is often viewed as a complicating factor and a source...
