Ring expansion and rearrangement reactions of N-heteroarylmethyl radicals
Abstract
Flash vacuum pyrolysis of N-(p-chlorophenoxymethyl)azoles (e.g.2 and 3) gives ring expanded products (e.g.4 and 8) formed via N-heteroarylmethyl radicals (e.g.1 and 6); the mechanism of ring expansion generally involves a novel ‘walk’-rearrangement of the radical centre.
