S. Kim et al., APPROXIMATE RATE CONSTANTS FOR CYCLIZATIONS OF ALKYL RADICALS ONTO BENZYL OXIME ETHERS, Tetrahedron letters, 38(14), 1997, pp. 2487-2490
The approximate rate constants for 5-exo and 6-exo cyclizations of alk
yl radicals onto oxime ethers have been kinetically determined to be 4
.2x10(7) s(-1) and 2.4x10(6) s(-1) at 80 degrees C, respectively. The
competition studies gave similar results, confirming the effectiveness
of rate constants obtained from kinetic studies. (C) 1997 Elsevier Sc
