Dioxime oxalates are useful precursors for the clean generation of iminyl radicals by sensitised UV photolysis and can be adapted for serviceable preparations of 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrroles and… (More)
This research aimed to provide a new and "clean" synthetic method that would enable both known and novel N-heterocycles to be prepared efficiently. O-Phenyl oximes were found to be excellent… (More)
Microwave irradiation of alkenone O-phenyl oximes produces iminyl radicals that ring close to yield dihydropyrrole derivatives; pyrroles and pyridines can be obtained from related precursors.
A wide range of biologically active compounds contain the quinazoline ring system. A new free-radical-based method of making functionalized quinazolines is described, which relies on… (More)
Acyl oximes derived from a variety of indolylalkanones underwent a ring closure sequence during FVP to afford 9H-pyrido[2,3-b]indoles. Unlike UV light promoted reactions of oxime esters, the… (More)
This paper describes how the rates of 5-exo-ring closures of unsaturated iminyl radicals to pyrrolomethyl radicals respond to substituents in the pentenyl chain and at the C=N bond. Benzyl- and acyl… (More)
A radical based synthesis of a broad variety of protected enantiopure α-amino acids, including fluorinated derivatives, is described. The radical addition furnishes naturally latent mercapto-α-amino… (More)
Microwave irradiations of 2-(aminoaryl)alkanone O-phenyl oximes and carbonyl compounds generate iminyl radicals in company with imines; iminyl on imine ring closure yields dihydroquinazolines or… (More)
