AbstractHerein a bimetallic radical redox-relay strategy is employed to generate alkyl radicals under mild conditions with titanium(III) catalysis and terminated via hydrogen atom transfer with cobalt(II) catalysis to enact base-free isomerizations of N-Bz aziridines to N-Bz allylic amides. This reaction provides an alternative strategy for the synthesis of allylic amides from alkenes via a three-step sequence to accomplish a formal transpositional allylic amination.

Metal-hydride hydrogen atom transfer (MHAT) functionalizes unbiased alkenes with predictable branched (Markovnikov) selectivity. The breadth of these transformations has been confined to π-radical traps; no sp<sup>3 </sup>electrophiles have been reported. Here we describe a Mn/Ni dual catalytic system that allows for the hydroalkylation of unactivated olefins by unactivated alkyl halides, yielding aliphatic quaternary carbons.

Gas-phase pyrolysis of cyclopentanone and cyclohexanone azines results in the formation of iminyl radicals. These undergo ring cleavage to the ω-cyanoalkyl radicals, which stabilize, by internal hydrogen-atom transfer, to the corresponding α-cyanoalkyl radicals. Fragmentation of the latter yields acrylonitrile and alkyl radicals, which can recombine with the α-cyanoalkyl radicals to form α-alkylated nitriles. The mechanisms involved are discussed with reference to isotopic labellingstudies.

2-Methyl-2-hexyloxy radical (V), generated by ferrous-ion reduction of 2-methyl-2-hexyl hydroperoxide, undergoes intramolecular hydrogen-atom transfer to the extent of 44%, yielding 2-hydroxy-2-methyl-5-hexyl radical (XIII). Oxidation of the latter with cupric ion in acetic acid affords a mixture of 2-methyl-4-hexen-2-ol (XXI) and 2-methyl-5-hexen-2-ol (XX). Similar results were obtained using radicals derived from 2,5-dimethyl-2-hexyl hydroperoxide and 2-methyl-2-heptyl hydroperoxide. In each case the preponderant formation of the unsaturated alcohol having an olefinic link in the δ-position with respect to the hydroxy group demonstrates the operation of a novel directive effect, for which a possible mechanism is discussed. Some other examples of metal-ion oxidation of alkyl radicals are described. No product arising from intramolecular hydrogen-atom transfer was isolated from ferrous-ion reduction of 2,4,4-trimethyl-2-pentyl hydroperoxide.
