  2. Outline • Introduction to Radical Reactions • Atom Transfers • Reductive Alkylations • Fragmentations • Tandem Addition-Trapping Reactions • Oxidations • Summary

  3. Introduction • Typical radical reactions go through 3 steps • Generation of radical from non-radical species • Propagation/Chain transfer process • Termination Initiation Propagation Termination Precursor Radical-1 Radical-2 Neutral Product Chain transfer

  4. Radical Properties x • Short lived, highly reactive species; difficult to use • Proceed under mild, neutral conditions • Radical reactions have been performed in aqueous media • Compatible with many functional groups, inert toward -OH or -NH • Early, reactant-like TS‡ allows for prediction of product stereochemistry from ground state structure C. P. Jasperse, D. P. Curran, T. L. Fevig, Chem Rev.1991, 91, 1237

  5. Creating Selectivity • Chiral source must be present during reaction • Chiral source bound to achiral substrate (complex-controlled) • Chiral source bound to the reagent (reagent-controlled) • •

  6. Outline • Introduction to Radical Reactions • Atom Transfers • Reductive Alkylations • Fragmentations • Tandem Addition-Trapping Reactions • Oxidations • Summary

  7. Atom Transfer Reactions • • • Typically involve transfer of a hydrogen or halogen atom • Transfer of atom from a chain-transfer agent to a radical species to generate another radical • Chiral Lewis Acid • Chiral Reagent •

  8. Enantioselective Atom Transfer • Lewis acids have been used to enhance and catalyze radical reactions • Conjugate addition followed by selective H-atom transfer • Urabe, H.; Yamashita, K.; Suzuki, K.; Kobayashi, K.; Sato, F. J. Org. Chem.1995, 60, 3576

  9. Radical Initiator • Trialkylboranes give free alkyl radicals upon treatment with oxygen • Et3B/O2 works as a radical initiator even at -78 C • Advantageous for stereoselective reactions: improved selectivities at lower temperatures • Alternate methods of radical generation typically involve high temperatures Et3B/O2 • • • • Ollivier, C.; Renaud, P. Chem. Rev.2001,101, 3415-3434

  10. Enantioselective Atom Transfer • Selectivity was dependent on concentration of reactants • Low ee at low concentration • Suggests uncomplexed radical reacting to give racemic product in competing background reaction Murakata, M.; Tsutsui, H.; Takeuchi, N.; Hoshino, O. Tetrahedron1999, 55, 10295

  11. Acyclic Systems • With previous cyclic system, selectivity is easier to control • Acyclic systems require more control • The complexing chiral group must be fixed relative to the prochiral center • The chiral group must shield one face of the radical or alkene • Reactivity of the complex must exceed reactivity of the free substrate • • • Murakata, M.; Tsutsui, H.; Takeuchi, N.; Hoshino, O. Tetrahedron1999, 55, 10295

  12. Rotamer Control • Rotamer control in radical transformations is important for selectivity • Achiral auxiliaries can provide a handle to control rotamers of acyclic substrates • Oxazolidinone templates were chosen based on success of chiral auxiliaries in Lewis acid promoted free radical transformations • S-cis favored due to A1,3 strain No rotamer control Rotamer control • • • • • • • Sibi, M. P.; Porter, N. A. Acc. Chem. Res.1999, 32, 163

  16. Predicted Transition State to Account for Selectivity • Attack from re face Attack occurs before any rotamer interconversion: precursor geometry imparts on product stereochemistry S-trans rotamer Sibi, M. P.; Sausker, J. B., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2002,124, 984-991.

  18. Reasons for selectivity • Radical reactions proceed through an early transition state → resembles starting complex • H-atom transfer occurs rapidly on rotamer conformation timescale • Atom transfer or radical addition to a neutral molecule proceed at high rates: approximately 104-108 dm3M-1s-1 • Geometry of starting material affects product stereochemistry • Exploitation of relatively slow conformation changes is possible Sibi, M. P.; Manyem, S.; Zimmerman, J., Chemical Reviews 2003,103, 3263-3295.

  19. Memory of Chirality • Atom transfer occurs at a high rate • Dependent on temperature and concentration of H-atom donor • • Buckmelter, A. J.; Kim, A. I.; Rychnovsky, S. D., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2000,122, 9386-9390.
