Abstract

A neutral metal-free system for the head-to-tail dimerization of electron-rich alkenes with stoichiometric amount of BrCCl2H and NaI is reported. This reaction proceeds under mild conditions with high efficiency and broad scope.

Key words

metal-free - head-to-tail - dimerization - electron-rich alkenes - BrCCl2H
