The Stabilizing Groups

Another interesting example of cyclization which appears to be under thermodynamic control is encountered with acyl radicals =C-(CH2) C=0 (50) 

In this case each of the products 52 and 53 may be considered to result from Cy 6, from Cy 5, or from both. On the basis of simpler examples it appears that a high selectivity toward the (Cy 6) radical in the Cy6/Cy5 case is the rule. For instance, 5-hexenal with BP in cyclohexane at 80°C gives cyclohexanone (41% yield) resulting from the (Cy 6) radical, with no trace of 2-methylcyclopentanone which would arise from the (Cy 5) radical.A similar result has been observed by Cekovic, who generated the unsaturated acyl radical by tributylstannyl reduction of the corresponding acyl chloride in boiling benzene. In this way 5-hexenoyl chloride afforded cyclohexanone in 36% yield with no trace of Cy5 products. 

Although no cyclized products are obtained in the Cy5/Cy4 case the preceding results seem in accordance with a reversible cyclization process. This was demonstrated in one case by thermolysis of the cyclized -butyl peresters corresponding to the (Cy5) and (Cy6) products expected from 5-hexenal. The (Cy6) perester was transformed exclusively into cyclohexanone but the (Cy5) perester gave a mixture of the unrearranged 2-methylcyclopentanone (30%) and. 

We now turn to cases in which the X and Y substituents influence the Cy5/Cy6 ratio probably as the result of a reversible cyclization process, though this has not been demonstrated. This influence has been mainly observed with radicals 

Without further evidence than just that of a lowered Cy5/Cy6 ratio, or of cyclization in other cases than Cy5/Cy6, it is probably dangerous to conclude that cyclization is under thermodynamic control. For instance, with radicals (58) (X = H, Y = OH) a low Cy5/Cy6 ratio (23 77) is observed at 140°C. [Under the same conditions, with two stabilizing groups (X = Y = C02Et) the Cy5/Cy6 ratio is 60 40. ] The total yield of cyclized products is low (15% with X = H, Y = OH) so that any interpretation is ambiguous, and it seems difficult to assume without any clear evidence that the low Cy5/Cy6 ratio (X = H,

In order to check for the possibility of primary electron transfer, hydroperoxides were allowed to react with the donors that contained the stabilizing groups, namely, 4,4 -di(ani-syl) sulfide or l,2-dihydroxyphenyl-bis 2,4,6-tri(/m-butyl)phenyl phosphite. The ESR method revealed the formation of corresponding cation radicals. 

Acceptance. The whole stability is acceptable for the period of storage and condition if the % difference between the stability group and control group is <15.0 % and the RSD for each group is <15.0 %.

Other examples of cyclopropanation with stabilized 5-ylides, i.e. alkyl- or aryl-(dimeth-ylamino)oxosulfonium alkanides/ " are presented in Table 15. 5-Ylides stabilized by an anion-stabilizing group at the nucleophilic carbon atom have also been successfully utilized for the cyclopropanation of Michael acceptors. The stabilizing group was a ketone/ " ester/carboxylate anion/ phosphonate diester/ or a cyano function (Table 16). 

With further shift into the direction of still more advanced breaking of the bond within active species this borderline Sn2 mechanism could eventually convert into the Sjql mechanism. This should be promoted by the presence of the stabilizing group located closely to the carbe-nium ion (like in cyclic acetals polymerization) and/or high ring strain (like in the three membered rings). Indeed, contribution of Sj l mechanism in both cases has been postulated for polymerization of 1,3-dioxolane and isobutylene oxide but there is still no clear-cut evidence for its operation. 

In the present context the definitions of syn and anti are essentially those of Masamune3. with the understanding that the extended acyclic system which constitutes the stereoresolving plane is defined as the carbon framework established by the sigmatropic event including, where applicable, the stabilizing group R1. 

Of the factors which influence the stereochemical outcome of the [2,3] Wittig rearrangement, the most significant is the stabilizing group, G. For the purpose of stereochemical classification, three distinct classes of [2,3] Wittig substrates can be identified ... 

Each element of the coset space G/H then corresponds to a coherent state. The decomposition of the group into cosets, taking advantage of the stability group properties, reduces the parameter space of the coherent state to a nonredundant set. In our case the stability group is SO(2) and we can write... 

A determinantal wave function expressed in this form is a coherent state. The associated Lie group is the unitary group U K) and the reference state Eq. (127) is the lowest weight state of the irreducible representation [1 0 ] of Lf(K). The stability group is U N) X U(K — N). The norm in an orthonormal basis of spin orbitals is... 

Based on the stability and filing requirements, the stability group will write a report including the data generated to support the change which will be included... 

An interesting aspect of the above hypothesis is the involvement of an oriented radical pair as an intermediate whose limiting form could be, in fact, the same as an concerted process, seems to be borne out by CIDNP experiments. Whereas in 12 the radical pathway is at most a minor one, in 78 the radical pathway is the major and possibly only one. ) The nature of the stabilizing group defines the place of the radical pair on the continuum of free radical pair to concerted process.
