This PhD thesis is divided in eight chapters. The first three bibliographic chapters present the general principles of radical chemistry, the possibility offered by the xanthate radical chemistry and a review of the radical allylation methods, main focus of this work. The three next chapters are dedicated to the exploitation of the radical allylation of allylic alcohols, recently discovered in our laboratory. The use of such a technology enabled the preparation of functionalized enol ethers, ketones and 1,4-diketones, vinylsulfides, and finally fluoro- and trifluoromethyl-alkenes. The obtained 1,4-diketones and vinylsulfides have in particular been utilized to prepare functionalized carbo- and hetero-cycles. A remarkable manifestation of po...
