Various C-centered radicals can efficiently be generated through thermal C-O-bond homolysis of alkoxyamines. This method is used to perform environmentally benign radical cyclization and intermolecular addition reactions. These alkoxyamine isomerizations and intermolecular carboaminoxylations are mediated by the persistent radical effect (PRE). In the paper, the effect of the variation of the alkoxyamine structure--in particular steric effects in the nitroxide moiety--on the outcome of the PRE mediated radical reactions will be discussed. Fourteen different nitroxides were used in the studies. It will be shown that reaction times can be shortened about 100 times upon careful tuning of the alkoxyamine structure. Activation energies for the C-O-bond homolysis of the various alkoxyamines are provided. The kinetic data are used to explain the reaction outcome of the PRE-mediated processes. |
