Clean and simple: Alkoxycarbonyl radicals generated from carbazates by iron catalysis in air underwent addition to a variety of alkenes to give the corresponding β-hydroxyesters (see scheme). The simple experimental procedure for this transformation has the added advantage that the reagents are environmentally friendly. R1,R2=alkyl, alkynyl, aryl, CO2Et; [Fe(Pc)]=iron phthalocyanine.
