Fe. Ziegler et Ak. Petersen, TANDEM FRAGMENTATION OF CYCLOPROPYLCARBINYL OXIRANYLCARBINYL RADICALS- ON THE REVERSIBILITY OF OXIRANYLCARBINYL/ALLYLOXYL RADICAL FORMATION/, Journal of organic chemistry, 59(10), 1994, pp. 2707-2714
The tandem radical fragmentation of four stereoisomeric epoxy thiocarb
onates 7c-10c has been investigated. In each instance a cyclopropylcar
binyl radical fragments to generate an oxiranylcarbinyl radical, which
, in turn, undergoes fragmentation. The Initially detected product is
(Z)-allylic alcohol 23, which isomerizes to (E)-allylic alcohol 24 und
er acid catalysis. The reversibility of allyloxyl radical formation is
considered.
