Intramolecular free radical cyclizations using acylsilanes as radicalphiles
摘要:
Carbon radicals add intramolecularly to acylsilanes at the carbonyl carbon followed by radical Brook rearrangement to give silylated cyclopentanols or cyclohexanols in good yields.
Intramolecular free radical cyclizations using acylsilanes as radicalphiles

5-Exo cyclizations of primary and secondary radicals with acylsilanes successfully give cyclopentyl silyl ethers. The corresponding 6-exo cyclizations are sensitive to changes of the size of silyl groups. Secondary radicals undergo 6-exo cyclizations with acylsilanes more slowly. Reaction of aryl radical with acylsilane proceeds well for 5-exo cyclization but not for 6-exo cyclization. Vinyl radicals give best results in 5-exo cyclizations with acylsilanes but give low yields (similar to 30%) in 6-exo cyclizations. Intramolecular cyclizations of vinyl radicals with acylsilanes give enol silyl ethers regiospecifically.
