PTOC oxalates

The absolute rate constants for a variety of cyclizafions have been measured. In particular, the rates of decarbonylafion of a variety of alkoxycarbonyl radicals have been obtained by LFP studies on PTOC oxalates." From these data, rate constants for the reduction of alkoxycarbonyl radicals with BusSnH and their 5-exo cyclizafions were determined. Whereas cyclizations were slightly faster than the analogous alkyl radical 5-exo cyclizations, their reactions with BusSnH were 10 times slower, indicating that cyclization processes should be synthetically useful. The rate constants for the cyclization of a number of variously substituted a-amide radicals have been determined together with their relative reactivities towards reduction using BusSnH (Scheme 16). Cyclizations of secondary-based radicals were found to be similar to the corresponding alkyl-substituted radicals. In addition, the rate constants were subject to minor electronic... 

During the time frame covered by this chapter, stannanes have been reported to have been involved in radical chemistry not involving the more traditional functionalities. For example, Marzi and coworkers reported that the reduction of cyclic thionocarbonates (e.g. 82) with BusSnH under standard radical conditions affords cyclic acetals that can then be further transformed into 1,2-diols (equation 57)219. This transformation represents a new approach to the protection of these diols. Zehl and Cech described the use of Bu3SnH in the reduction of azide (83) to the corresponding amine (equation 58)305, while Hanessian and his associates reported the Ph3SnH-mediated free-radical reduction of the tertiary oxalate (84) (equation 59)309. This transformation represents a departure from the more typical reduction of a pyridinethioneoxycarbonyl (PTOC) oxalate ester321.
