N. Bashir et Ja. Murphy, The role of neighbouring group participation in TTF-mediated 'radical-polar crossover' reactions: trapping of aliphatic radicals by TTF+center dot, CHEM COMMUN, (7), 2000, pp. 627-628
Trapping of secondary alkyl radicals with tetrathiafulvalenium tetrafluorob
orate (TTF+.BF4-) leads to S-alkyltetrathiafulvalenium tetrafluoroborate sa
lts; the solvolysis of such salts is critically dependent on the presence o
f appropriately sited neighbouring groups.
