The alkoxyl radical is an essential reactive intermediate in mechanistic studies and organic synthesis with hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) reactivity. However, compared with intramolecular 1,5-HAT or intermolecular HAT of alkoxyl radicals, the intramolecular 1,2-HAT reactivity has been limited to theoretical studies and rarely synthetically utilized. Here we report the first selective 1,2-HAT of alkoxyl radicals for α-C(sp3)-H bond allylation of α-carbonyl, α-cyano, α-trifluoromethyl, and benzylic N-alkoxylphthalimides. The mechanistic probing experiments, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations confirmed the 1,2-HAT reactivity of alkoxyl radicals, and the use of protic solvents lowered the activation energy by up to 10.4 kcal/mol to facilitate the α-C(sp3)-H allylation reaction.

可见光诱导的烷氧基自由基使α-C(sp3)-H键烯丙基化。
烷氧基是机械研究和具有氢原子转移(HAT)反应性的有机合成中必不可少的反应中间体。但是,与分子内的1,5-HAT或分子间的烷氧基的HAT相比,分子内的1,2-HAT的反应性仅限于理论研究,很少用于合成。在这里,我们报告了α-羰基,α-氰基,α-三氟甲基和苄基N-烷氧基邻苯二甲酰亚胺的α-C(sp 3)-H键烯丙基化的烷氧基的第一个选择性1,2-HAT 。机械探测实验,电子顺磁共振(EPR)研究和密度泛函理论(DFT)计算证实了烷氧基的1,2-HAT反应性,并且质子溶剂的使用使活化能降低了10.4 kcal / mol。促进α-C(sp3)-H烯丙基化反应。
