This is clo.sely related to the Tertiary radical synthesis" scheme for the preparation of organocobalt porphyrins, in which alkenes insert into the Co—H bond of Co(Por)H instead of creating a new radical as in Eq. (13). If the alkene would form a tertiary cobalt alkyl then polymerization rather than cobalt-alkyl formation is observed. " " " The kinetics for this process have been investigated in detail, in part by competition studies involving two different alkenes. This mimics the chain transfer catalysis process, where two alkenes (monomer and oligomers or...

Scheme 7.20 makes the observed regioselectivity understandable. Such regioselectivity is possible when both the diene and dienophile are nonsymmetrically substituted. Then dimerization can be of the head-to-head type with the formation of 1,2-disubstituted derivatives of cyclohexene or head-to-tail type if cyclohexene with substituents at positions 1 and 3 is formed. In ion-radical synthesis, head-to-tail dimerization is more typical. The charge distribution indicated in Scheme 7.20 explains this preference. 

As for solvents, liquid ammonia or dimethylsulfoxide are most often used. There are some cases when tert-butanol is used as a solvent. In principle, ion-radical reactions need aprotic solvents of expressed polarity. This facilitates the formation of such polar forms as ion-radicals are. Meanwhile, the polarity of the solvent assists ion-pair dissociation. This enhances reactivity of organic ions and sometimes enhances it to an unnecessary degree. Certainly, a decrease in the permissible limit of the solvent s polarity widens the possibilities for ion-radical synthesis. Interphase catalysis is a useful method to circumvent the solvent restriction. Thus, 18-crown-6-ether assists anion-radical formation in the reaction between benzoquinone and potassium triethylgermyl in benzene (Bravo-Zhivotovskii et al. 1980). In the presence of tri(dodecyl)methylammonium chloride, fluorenylpi-nacoline forms the anion-radical on the action of calcium hydroxide octahydrate in benzene. The cation of the onium salts stabilizes the anion-radical (Cazianis and Screttas 1983). Surprisingly, the fluorenylpinacoline anion-radicals are stable even in the presence of water.

We refer the readers to a useful body of books and reviews in the bibliography which will prove helpful to investigators determining the mechanism of radical reactions. The early two-volume compendium edited by Kochi has much valuable information, even though 30 years old, and most modern texts on radicals provide excellent guidance to radical synthesis and mechanism. We shall not discuss stereochemistry explicitly which now forms an important part of the mechanisms of radical reactions except to note that excellent stereoselectivities can be obtained in radical reactions with a clear understanding of the mechanisms involved. Many concepts in radical polymerisations are equally applicable to small molecule reactions and we refer the reader to an excellent account on the subject by Moad and Solomon. 

Figure 5.10 shows temperature dependencies of final and intermediate product accumulation or consumption. As should be expected, rate increase with temperature is accompanied by increase in concentration of the main active sites (H02 radicals) in the system. Maximal CH20 yield corresponds to lower temperatures. Concentration of CH20 increases to its maximum with temperature first and then abruptly decreases due to intensification of its consumption, because it interacts with OH and H02 radicals. Synthesis of CO and CH20 is of extreme type, and temperature increase reduces CO yield. As CO is consumed, the contribution of stages with high activation energies increases, for example, the reaction ... 

Seemingly, the situation is very simple H202 concentration usually decreases in the course of oxidation and, therefore, H02 radical synthesis is hindered. Thus, OH radicals as active sites dominate in the system with all the ensuing consequences, which are an abrupt decrease of efficiency and selectivity of oxidation. Such a change of the key active sites in the chemical system transforms the oxidation mechanism and provides a gradual transition from the two-electron stages to single-electron radical reactions, i.e. transition from selective to random oxidation.

Caddick [ 19] applied this methodology in the first solid-phase radical synthesis of C-glycosides (Scheme 30). Intermolecular addition of the radical derived from iodide 135 to acceptor 132 followed by cleavage with an amino acid derivative such as phenylalanine ethyl ester gave glycopeptide 137 in good overall yield. 

Monomers that yield radicals in which the unpaired electron isextensively delocalized have ground state structures that are themselves resonance stabilized. The important factor is the relative stability of the product radical, however, because a single electron is more easily delocalized than one in a C=C double bond. Thus resonance stabilization causes as increase in monomer reactivity and a decrease in reactivity of the resulting polymer radical. Styrene is more reactive toward polymerization than vinyl acetate, for example, and the propagation rate in the former polymerization is much slower than in the radical synthesis of polyfvinyl acetate).

Reactive chains can be obtained by anionic polymerization, followed by attachment of a reactive end-group. This route yields nearly monodisperse polymers with functional groups at their ends, polymers that are very well suited for systematic studies. The synthesis can be quite elaborate, and, for longer chains, the completeness of the end-functionalization is difficult to verify. If the mono-dispersity and the control of the molecular weight of the polymer are not crucial or not possible, more common techniques can be used. They involve either the free-radical synthesis of a polymer incorporating a small fraction of reactive comonomers that will then be distributed along the chain, or the random functionalization of the polymer in the melt (using a free-radical initiator) after the...
