Graphical Abstract
A radical combination: An intermolecular cascade reaction involving alkyl halides, CO, electron-deficient alkenes, and stannyl enolates proceeds smoothly by a radical chain pathway to give four-component coupling products in good to high yields (see scheme). A series of 1,5-diketones with a substituent at the 3-position was prepared by this method.
