Radical Processes

The radical SRN1 and subsequent ERC1 reactions of p-nitrobenzylidene dibromide (2b) and bromide chloride (2c) with the lithium salt (1a) and the tetrabutylammonium salt (1b) (under phase-transfer conditions) of 2-nitropropane are discussed and compared with the reactions of the dichloride (2a). The SRN1 and ERC1 sequence occurs in rapid succession in the reaction of (2b), in contrast to the reactions of (2a) and (2c) which give isolable amounts of the SRN1 product, p-NO2C6H4CH(Cl)-CMe2NO2 (3a). The monobromide p-NO2C6H4CH(Br)CMe2NO2 (3b) cannot be detected in the SRN1-ERC1 sequence leading from (2b) to β,β-dimethyl-p-nitrostyrene (5). The ERC1 reaction of the monobromide (3b) is also studied and shown to take place more slowly than the combined SRN1-ERC1 sequence for (2b). ��� The phase-transfer technique is shown to be a convenient method for the preparation of C-alkylated derivatives like (3a), but not (3b), in both-the o- and p-nitrobenzylic systems. The dibromide p- NO2C6H4CH(Br)CMe2Br (7) was shown to undergo competitive ERC1 and E2(H) reactions with (1a) to give the styrene (5) and p-NO2C6H4C(Br)=CMe2 (8) respectively. Iodide ion reacts with (7) to give the styrene (5) by an E2(Br) mechanism at a rate which is several orders of magnitude slower than the radical process. Alkoxide ions gave E2(H) reactions on dibromide (7) and monochloride (3a) with elimination of the elements of hydrogen bromide and nitrous acid respectively. The catalytic effect of white light, the inhibitive effect of oxygen and p-dinitrobenzene, and the effect of concentration on the radical processes are discussed.
