Pike, Kurt Gordon (1997) Radical cyclisations of methylenecyclopropane deratives. University of Southampton, Doctoral Thesis.
Abstract
This thesis was concerned with the synthesis, and radical cyclisations, of compounds containing a methylenecyclopropane moiety. Special interest is given to developing tandem radical cyclisations to create polycyclic systems.
Chapter 1 describes the syntheses of suitable 1,2-disubstituted methylenecyclopropane derivatives, and the investigations into their tandem cyclisations. Tandem cyclisation of (39), to give (40), was found to be a particularly clean and efficient reaction, when slow addition techniques were used for the addition of tin hydride and AIBN. (Fig. 8997A)
Chapter 2 describes the syntheses of 1,2-disubstituted methylenecyclopropylmalonyl compounds suitable for atom transfer mediated cyclisations, (42). Under atom transfer conditions these compounds underwent the anticipated 7-endo cyclisation to give (43). However, the desired tandem cyclisation, to give radical (44), did not occur and cyclopropyl radical (43) was trapped by iodine atom transfer. (Fig. 8997B)
