Abstract

A broad range of fundamental free radical reactions, such as hydrogen and halogen atom transfer, radical deoxygenations, radical cyclization reactions, radical additions to C=C and C=N double bonds, in β-cyclodextrin based molecular reactors at room temperature are investigated. The reactions proceeded smoothly in moderate to excellent yield at ambient temperature.
