Abstract
This review discusses the numerous routes to all-carbon quaternary centers based on the unique radical chemistry of xanthates. It summarizes the various approaches to the synthesis of tertiary xanthates then describes the intra- and intermolecular radical additions and combinations thereof that have so far been used to construct quaternary centers.
