Dehydrogenative desaturation-relay via formation of multicenter-stabilized radical intermediates

Synthesis of valuable polyene molecules under mild conditions and with good functional groups tolerance is of paramount importance. Here, the authors show the versatile copper-catalyzed successive dehydrogenation of a variety of organic substrates affording highly conjugated unsaturated products.
