“…[59] Furthermore,m ore complex cascades were developed along those lines. [60,61] Another beautiful sequence taking advantage of the PRE with peroxyl radicals as in situ generated scavengers is shown in Figure 14 a. Thee sters and amides 44 derived from propiolic acid derivatives and anilines or phenols were used as radical acceptors.I nt he first step,at ransient radical generated by ar edox reaction adds regioselectively to the CÀCt riple bond of 44 to give av inyl radical 45.I ts ipso cyclization onto the arene of the aniline or phenol moiety leads to cyclohexadienyl radical 46,w hich is trapped by tertbutylperoxyl to give peroxide 47,which can undergo aK ornblum-DeLaMare rearrangement [62] to finally provide ketone 48.T his sequence was successfully conducted with various radicals RC using different radical precursors.A lkyl radicals derived from ethers, [63] ketones, [64] or alkanes, [65] acyl radicals from aldehydes, [66] CF 3 radicals from the Langlois reagent, [67] SCF 3 radicals from AgSCF 3 , [68] silyl radicals from silanes, [69] and sulfonyl radicals from sulfonylhydrazides engage in this spirocyclization cascade. [70] Recently,t he groups of Wu and Zhong presented an oxidative cyclization of ethylene-bridged aminoindoles 48 to afford peroxypyrroloindolines 49 with t-BuOOH as the oxidant in combination with TBAI ( Figure 14 b).…”
