The Substituent Effects of tert-Butyl Radical Addition to 2-Substituted Allyl Chlorides

The relative rates for the addition reactions of tert-butyl radical to 2-substituted ally chlorides I have een determined. The correlation of log k/k₀, vs. σ_m gives a ρ mvalue of 3.59 with correlation coefficient of 0.930. When the substituent CH₂Cl is excluded, correlation coefficient raises to 0.990 and ρ value becomes 3.39. The large p value and the deviation of relative rate of substituent CH₂C1 are discussed.     

An Alkyl-Aluminium Promoted Stereospecific Addition to Vinyl Olefins

The reaction of tris-crotyl-boron with vinylic olefins in the presence of triethyl-aluminium, results in the addition of an α-methylallyl group and an aluminium atom to the double bond, as indicated by the hydrolysis products. The stereochemical aspect of the reaction is discussed and a mechanism is proposed to explain the preferential formation of one diastereoisomer.     

Rhodium-Catalyzed Enantioselective Radical Addition of CX4 Reagents to Olefins

We describe the synthetically useful enantioselective addition of Br−CX₃ (X=Cl or Br) to terminal olefins to introduce a trihalomethyl group and generate optically active secondary bromides. Computational and experimental evidence supports an asymmetric atom-transfer radical addition (ATRA) mechanism in which the stereodetermining step involves outer-sphere bromine abstraction from a [(bisphosphine)Rh^IIBrCl] complex by a benzylic radical intermediate. This mechanism appears unprecedented in asymmetric catalysis.     

Acid‐Catalyzed Oxidative Radical Addition of Ketones to Olefins

Based on a mechanistic study, we have discovered a Brønsted acid catalyzed formation of ketone radicals. This is believed to proceed via thermally labile alkenyl peroxides formed in situ from ketones and hydroperoxides. The discovery could be utilized to develop a multicomponent radical addition of unactivated ketones and tert‐butyl hydroperoxide to olefins. The resulting γ‐peroxyketones are synthetically useful intermediates that can be further transformed into 1,4‐diketones, homoaldol products, and alkyl ketones. A one‐pot reaction yielding a pharmaceutically active pyrrole is also described.     

Photoredox-Catalyzed Addition of Carbamoyl Radicals to Olefins: A 1,4-Dihydropyridine Approach

Functionalization with C1-building blocks are key synthetic methods in organic synthesis. The low reactivity of the most abundant C₁-molecule, carbon dioxide, makes alternative carboxylation reactions with CO₂-surrogates especially important. We report a photoredox-catalyzed protocol for alkene carbamoylations. Readily accessible 4-carboxamido-Hantzsch esters serve as convenient starting materials that generate carbamoyl radicals upon visible light-mediated single-electron transfer. Addition to various alkenes proceeded with high levels of regio- and chemoselectivity.

Synthesis of N-Alkoxy Amidine Salts Via Addition of (N-Alkyl-N-Alkoxyammine)Dimethylaluminum Chlorides to Nitriles

Abstract: The addition of (N-alkyl-N-alkoxyammine)dimethylaluminum chlorides to nitriles provides a convenient route to little investigated N-alkoxy amidine hydrochlorides. A survey of the scope of this reaction is presented.     

Transition State Geometry and Polar Effect in the Addition of Peroxyl Radicals to Olefins

Transition-state interatomic distances in the addition of peroxyl radicals to the double bond of olefins are estimated from experimental data (activation energies and rate constants) using a new algorithm combining quantum chemical and parabolic model calculations. An aromatic ring in the α-position with respect to the double bond elongates the ? distance by 0.02 × 10^?10 m. Polar groups adjacent to the double bond affect this distance considerably. The geometric parameters of the transition states in the abstraction and addition of peroxyl radicals are compared.

Distinctive Characteristics of Carbon Tetrachloride Addition to Olefins in the Presence of Copper Complexes with Donor Ligands

The interaction between CCl₄and olefins with different structures is studied in the presence of copper complexes with P-, S-, and N-containing donor ligands. Kinetic and spectroscopic studies show that the ability of olefins to be coordinated to copper complexes governs the rate, the product composition, and the reaction mechanism. Depending on the olefin and the structure of the metal complex, either typical radical-chain reactions or processes without free radicals are observed.
