The title radical precursors were prepared from secondary amides by reaction of the amide with phosgene to give an imidoyl chloride followed by reaction with the sodium salt of N-hydroxypyridine-2-thione. Visible light initiated reactions of these precursors gave amidyl radicals 2 which could react with their precursors to give N-(2-pyridylthio) amides or with t-BuSH to give the parent amide. Radicals 2 containing delta,epsilon-unsaturation on the acyl or alkyl chain cyclized in a 5-exo fashion to give ultimately gamma-lactams and N-acylpyrrolidines, respectively. Tandem 5-exo cyclizations of the N-allyl-4-pentenamidyl radical gave pyrrolizidinone products, and a tandem 5-exo/6-endo reaction sequence of the N-(4-pentenyl)benzamidyl radical gave, ultimately, 3,4-benzoindolizidinone. Several relative rate constants for cyclization and trapping of the amidyl radicals and for intramolecular reactions and trapping of the carbon-centered radicals formed by amidyl radical cyclizations were determined, and these values can be employed in synthetic planning.
