Dihydronaphthalene radical cation, octyl

Crich and Gastaldi investigated the nucleophilic trapping of a dihydronaphthalene radical cation by octyl alcohol and noted that the stereoselectivity of the reaction, while not high, was a function of the substrate stereochemistry (Scheme 19) [134]. In terms of the general mechanism for fragmentation...
