The kinetics for the 5-exo cyclizations of secondary radicals onto various imine accepters (aryl-, alkyl-, and benzoylhydrazones, oxime ethers, etc.) have been determined. The rate constants have been established by competitive "internal radical clock" type cyclizations on the basis of the known rate constants for alkene and N,N-diphenylhydrazone systems. In refluxing benzene (80 degrees C) the rate constants for these 5-exo cyclizations fall within the range of 16 x 10(7) to 4 x 10(7) s(-1) depending on the electron-withdrawing capacity of the imine acceptor (C=NR). The fastest rate constants were observed for the N-benzyoylhydrazone acceptor (cis, 1.2 x 10(8) s(-1)), a value that is very similar to rate constant determined previously for N,N-diphenylhydrazones (cis, 1.1 x 10(8) s(-1)), These rate constants are approximately 200 times faster than those for the corresponding 5-exo cyclization onto alkenes.
