radical reaction

Recently radical reaction is reported as useful bond-making method in organic synthesis. Wako has been developing various azo initiators and is working on process development of organic synthesis utilizing unique initiators. We will offer efficient and stereoselective reaction picking suitable radical initiators for reaction system.

V-70(V-70L: racemic form)

reaction example(1)

radical reaction utilized V-70(1)

Entry Initiator Time(hr) Yield(%)of 3a
1 AIBN 24 No Reaction
2 BPO 24 No Reaction
3 Et3B 18 44
4 hv 6 85
5 V-70 12 89

Use of V-70 as radical initiator that has activity of initiator in low temperature can proceed reaction utilized unstable bromomalononitrile.

reaction example(2)

stereoselective cyclization utilized V-70(2)

 

Entry Initiator Solvent Temp. (°C) Yield (%) Ratio (anti:syn)
1 hv CH2Cl2 refl. 86 94:6
2 Et3B CH2Cl2 -78 69 99:1
3 AIBN C6H6 refl. 80 86:14
4 V-70L CH2Cl2 r.t. 85 98:2

The table shows effect of various radical initiators under intramolecular cyclization with the use of 2-bromopentenate. In use of V-70L products are obtained in excellent yield and stereoselectivity.
