Abstract
Radical ytterbium trifluoromethanesulfonate promoted atom-transfer additions of 3-bromoacetyl-2-oxazolidinone to several cycloalkenes proceeded smoothly to give functionalised cycloalkane derivatives in good yields and stereoselectivities. All products were easily and cleanly debrominated with tri(trimethylsilyl)silane to the corresponding stable cycloalkylacetic acid derivatives.
