cisand trans-2-Methylcyclopropyl-stannyloxymethyl and -hydroxymethyl radicals (A) have been generated by treating either the corresponding tin alkoxides or alcohols with t-butoxyl radicals, or the corresponding ketones with tributylstannyl radicals. The e.s.r. spectra show that, a t low temperature (< -60°C). the cis-(A) radicals undergo ring-opening to give principally secondary alkyl radicals, but the trans-(A) radicals give only primary alkyl radicals.the enolates have cisor trans-configuration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
