Use of Homolytic Redox Processes in Organic Syntheses

  • Chapter
Free Radicals in Synthesis and Biology

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 260))

Abstract

The design of new radical stoichiometric redox reactions useful in the synthesis of organic compounds is discussed taking examples of inter and intramolecular oxidative alkylation of aromatics and reduc tive alkylation of olefins promoted by metal salts. The analysis is fo-coused mainly on the reactivity of ∝-carbonylalkyl radicals generated by Mn(III)acetate oxidation of carbonyl compounds or by addition of nucleophilic carbon free radicals to ∝-enones. Efficient propagations and terminations results in good yield and selectivity and increase also the efficiency of the initiation step.
