Tandem Polar/Radical Crossover Sequences for the Formation of Fused and Bridged Bicyclic Nitrogen Heterocycles Involving Radical Ionic Chain Reactions, and Alkene Radical Cation Intermediates, Performed under Reducing Conditions: Scope and Limitations
anion contact ion pairs which are trappedintramolecularly in a tandem polar/radical crossover sequence involving radical ionic chain reactions by allylic and propargylic amines. The substitution pattern of the alkene radical cation dictates the cyclization mode, and this may be engineered to form fused ring systems by an initial exo-mode nucleophilic cyclization or bridged bicyclic systems when the nucleophilic
