HAT Lessons Help Hydrogen Hop, Skip, and Jump.

Nagib and Rajanbabu share a clever approach to remote desaturation triggered by metal-catalysed hydrogen atom transfer (mHAT) to an alkene, followed by intramolecular 1,6-HAT, and terminated via mHAT. This method both realizes a valuable synthetic transformation and provides multiple lessons for the design of HAT-mediated reactions.
