Radical coupling of β-ketoesters and amides promoted by Brønsted/Lewis acids

Recent advances in photocatalysis have enabled radical methods with complementary chemoselectivity to established two electron bond forming approaches. While this radical strategy has previously been limited to substrates with favorable redox potentials, Brønsted/Lewis acid activation has emerged as...
