decarbonylativeradicalcyclization of α-aminoselenoestersupon deactivated alkenes (Scheme 1). Acyl radicals can be generated by hydride treatment of selenoesters, and their reactions can be classified into three types: (i) the atom or group transfer reaction on the acyl carbon, as exemplified by hydrogen abstraction to give the corresponding aldehydes; (ii) the addition to … We next attempted to carry out the cyclization process from the selenoester 19, since there are …
α-Amino selenoester-tethered electronically poor alkenes on treatment with tributyltin hydride or TTMSS undergo intramolecular radical cyclization to provide 6-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octanes through 1-aminomethyl radical intermediates.
