Formation of carbanions using neutral organic molecules as electron-transfer reagents: A radical concept

Research output: Contribution to journalShort surveypeer-review

Abstract

A new generation of organic compounds (see examples) have been developed and used as single- and double-electron donors. Aryl halides and sulfones can be reduced, and using one particular electron donor, aryl anions can be formed. Up until now these reactions were mainly carried out by metals.
