✦ Synopsis
Thermal radical reactions of azidoalkynes 2, 8, 14, and 21ac with thiols 1a-c afford 2-sulfanylvinyl radicals by selective addition of sulfanyl radicals to the triple bond. 1-Phenylvinyl radicals 23 and 30a, as well as vinyl radical 30b, undergo fast 5-cyclization onto the aromatic azide function to give cyclized indoles. In contrast, both 1-phenyl (15, 17) and 1-alkyl (3a,b, 9) vinyl radicals fail to add to their aliphatic azido substituents and exclusively undergo cyclization onto the aromatic sulfanyl ring and H transfer from the thiol precursor.
