Amidoethylation of Anthracene Hydride by N-Aroylaziridines: Inner-sphere Single Electron Transfer (SET) and Radical Coupling confirmed
Abstract
Regioselectivity (near 1:1) of substitutive ring opening of 1-benzoyl-2-methylaziridine by anthracene hydride is incompatible with common nucleophilic attack and thus confirms the radical coupling path.
