Cg. Francisco et al., Intramolecular hydrogen abstraction promoted by N-radicals: synthesis of chiral 7-oxa-2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane and 8-osa-6-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane ring systems, TETRAHEDR-A, 11(19), 2000, pp. 3879-3882
Homochiral 7-oxa-2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane and 8-oxa-6-azabicyclo[3.2.1]oc
tane ring systems can be synthesized by reaction of specifically protected
phosphoramidate derivatives of carbohydrates with (diacetoxyiodo)benzene or
iodosylbenzene and iodine. The reaction mechanism goes through homolytic f
ragmentation of a hypothetical iodoamide intermediate. The N-radicals so ge
nerated participate in an intramolecular hydrogen abstraction reaction (IHA
) to give the aforementioned bicycles. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. Ail r
