5-Exo versus 6-Endo Cyclization of Primary Aminyl Radicals: An Experimental and Theoretical Investigation
摘要:
The cyclization of neutral primary pent-4-enylaminyl radicals was investigated experimentally and theoretically. Unlike the corresponding secondary aminyl radicals, primary pent-4-enylaminyl radicals underwent efficient cyclization to afford the pyrrolidine and/or piperidine products in good to high yields. While the simple pent-4-enylaminyl radical gave predominately the 5-exo, cyclization product, 4-chloropent-4-enylarninyl radicals led to the formation of the corresponding 6-endo cyclization products in excellent regioselectivity. Theoretical calculations revealed that the 5-exo cyclization rate of primary aminyl radicals is about 3-4 orders of magnitude higher than that of secondary aminyl radicals.
