“…Additionally, the novel disconnection possibilities arising from the use of alkenes as radical precursors has led to MHAT reactions making significant inroads into the field of total synthesis, 3 a trend likely to increase as more acceptor groups become available in this burgeoning research area. Acceptor groups currently used in MHAT C–C coupling reactions include electron-deficient alkenes, 4 sulfonylhydrazones derived from formaldehyde, 5 nitriles, 6 pyridine salts, 7 imines, 8 N -sulfinylimines, 9 acylsilanes, 10 alkynyl bromides, 11 β-nitroalkenes, 12 and difluoroalkenes. 13 Within our own research group, we have developed novel MHAT reactions employing ketones, 14 aldehydes, 15 Cbz hydrazones, 16 and tosyl hydrazones 17 as viable acceptor groups ( Figure 1 ).…”
