D-A-D-T-type four-component radical dual-difunctionalization and acylative azidation of two different alkenes

From a single alkene to two different alkenes! An iron-catalyzed four-component reaction involving an aldehyde, two different alkenes and TMSN 3 is developed to assemble these four reactants in an orderly fashion based on the inherent nucleophilic/electrophilic reaction activity of the radicals and alkenes via a double radical addition, providing various multifunctional compounds containing an azido group and two carbonyl groups. From a single alkene to two different alkenes! An iron-catalyzed four-component reaction of aldehydes, two different alkenes and TMSN 3 is developed to orderly assemble these four reactants according to their inherent nucleo/electrophilic activity.
