β¦ Synopsis
The rearrangement of Z(vinyloxy)alkyl to 4-ketobutyl radicals has been demonstrated b proceed by a two step mechanism involving initial 5-endo-trigoual cyclii 10 give a tetrahydrof~yl radical which thtn fragments to the final radical. Fragmentation of the tetrahydrofrwnyl radicals is demonstrated by their genetation from the corresponding 2-(&ylthio)-tetrahydmfurans with stanmmesandAIBN. 'Ihereanangementmactionis completely blocked when the intermediate tetrahdrofuranyl radical is set up to undergo a Mexenyl rearrangement We are interested in the study of a class of free radical rearrangements that may be conveniently generalized by the formalism of Scheme 1.
