Novel azido-phenylselenenylation of double bonds. Evidence for a free-radical process
摘要:
A simple and mild azido-phenylselenenylation of terminal alkenes, which proceeds with complete anti-Markovnikov regioselectivity, has been developed. This reaction occurs when the alkenes are treated with (diacetoxyiodo)benzene, sodium azide, and diphenyl diselenide in dichloromethane at room temperature. The observed regioselectivity can be explained by assuming that the addition process is initiated by azido radicals. This was further supported by the results obtained starting from 1,6-heptadiene and from beta-pinene. Under the same conditions, efficient azido-phenylselenenylation of symmetrical olefins, 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran, methyl acrylate, and vinyl crotonate can also be effected.
