Single Electron Transfer in Nucleophilic Aliphatic Substitution. Evidence for Single Electron Transfer in the Reactions of 1-Halonorbornanes with Various Nucleophiles
摘要:
A series of 1-halonorbornanes was used as a model system in reactions with several nucleophiles in order to determine the involvement of single electron transfer (SET) in nucleophilic aliphatic substitution in the absence of light. The 1-halonorbornanes were allowed to react with Me3Sn-, Ph2P-, AlH4-, N(iPr)2-, SPh-, and the 2-nitropropyl anion in ether solvents at room temperature to 0-degrees-C. The results of product analyses, the use of radical and radical anion trapping reagents, the results of deuterium labeling studies, and the nucleofugality effect support a SET mechanism for the reactions involving 1-iodonorbornane. Convincing evidence that reduction of hindered alkyl iodides with LiAlH4 takes place by a SET pathway rather than by an impurity-initiated halogen atom radical chain process followed by an S(N)2 pathway, is presented.

The treatment of a variety of aldehydes and ketones with phenyl)tribromomethyl)mercury results in the production of carbon monoxide from the deoxygenation of the carbonyl group by dibromocarbene.
