P. Renaud et al., STEREOCHEMICAL STUDY OF THE ALLYLATION OF 1-PHENYLSULFINYLETHYL AND 1-PHENYLSULFINYL-2,2,2-TRIFLUOROETHYL RADICALS, Tetrahedron letters, 35(11), 1994, pp. 1703-1706
The stereochemistry of the reactions of 1-phenylsulfinylethyl radical
(1r) and 1-phenylsulfinyl-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl radical (2r) with allyl
stannanes has been examined. Preferential formation of products of opp
osite relative configuration has been observed. Conformational analysi
s of tile radical intermediates (AM1 calculations) allows to rationali
ze the results.
