Electron Transfer-Catalyzed Vinylcyclopropane Rearrangements

摘要

Recently, electron has been recognized as the simplest catalyst in the field of synthetic organic Addition or removal of electron can activate small molecules for further chemical transformations, which is referred to as redox catalysis. Reductive and/or oxidative single electron transfer (SET) can be induced by means of electro- and photochemistry, where an electron can play a role of catalysts. Radical ions are primarily generated via SET, offering unique reactive intermediates.
