Abstract
A radical-mediated addition strategy of diazo compounds to diverse alkenes achieves a difunctionalization - either through hydroalkylation by thiol-assisted hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) or formation of azidoalkylation products through an iron catalytic cycle. The methods proceed under mild reaction conditions and show high functional group tolerance.
