Abstract
The radical reaction of benzenethiol with S-4-pentynyl carbamothioates provides a valuable protocol for the tin-free generation of carbamoyl radicals, which arise from intramolecular substitution at sulfur by the initial sulfanylvinyl radicals. This procedure can be usefully employed to achieve N-benzylcarbamoyl radical 5-exo and 4-exo cyclizations leading, respectively, to pyrrolidinones and azetidinones, although, for the latter, it seems of lesser utility. Novel evidence is presented that N-tosyl-substituted carbamoyl radicals display a peculiar tendency to yield the corresponding isocyanate by β-elimination of the tosyl radical.Keywords
