Another way to construct alkenes is by the addition of carbon radicals to nitrostyrenes such as 5. Ching-Fa Yao of National Taiwan Normal University in Taipei has reported (J. Org. Chem. 2004,69, 3961) an extension of this work, generating the acyl radical from the aldehyde 6, cyclizing it to generate a new radical, then trapping that radical with 5 to give 7. This article includes an overview of the several ways of adding radicals to 5.
