B. Yoo et Dp. Curran, NEW RADICAL ALLYLATION REACTIONS USING 2-BROMO-3-(PHENYLTHIO)PROPENE AND THEIR APPLICATION TO THE SYNTHESIS OF CARBOCYCLIC COMPOUNDS, Bulletin of the Korean Chemical Society, 17(11), 1996, pp. 1009-1018
A study on the application of vinyl radical cyclization via free radic
al allylation reaction in the synthesis of various carbocyclic compoun
ds is described. In connection with this study, a new allyl transfer r
eagent, 2-bromo-3-(phenylthio) propene 1 is developed and it was shown
that vinyl radical cyclization through free radical allylation reacti
on using reagent 1 provides a valuable approach to carbocyclic systems
with a reactive exo-alkylidene moiety, which is advantageous for furt
her transformations.
