Abstract

Cyclization of the N-dimethylphosphinoyl-2-methyl-3-aza-5-hexenyl radical has been studied at the UB3LYP/6-31+G(d)//UB3LYP/6-31G(d) hybrid density functional level. The corresponding radical precursor has been synthesized and found to give cis/trans ratios of up to 10/1 in reductive radical cyclizations. The relative energies of reactant and transition state conformers were determined. In discord with the Beckwith−Houk model, it has been found that chair-axial transition states, which lead to cis products, are lowest in energy, rationalizing the observed experimental diastereoselectivity.

Qian Chen, Meihua Shen, Yu Tang, and Chaozhong LiOrganic Letters2005 7 (8), 1625-1627Theoretical calculations (B3LYP/6-31G*) backed up by deuterated experiments reveal that the N-substituents (R) play a crucial role in determining the reaction pathways of unsaturated amidyl radicals. With the increase of the bulkiness of N-alkyl group, ...

8-Endo versus 7-Exo Cyclization of α-Carbamoyl Radicals. A Combination of Experimental and Theoretical Studies

Li Liu, Qian Chen, Yun-Dong Wu, and Chaozhong LiThe Journal of Organic Chemistry2005 70 (5), 1539-1544Atom transfer radical cyclization reactions of N-(4-pentenyl)iodoacetamides were investigated. The reactions were efficiently promoted by BF3·OEt2. For N-alkenyl-substituted iodoamides, excellent regioselectivity in favor of 8-endo cyclization was ...
