Tetrakis(dimethylamino)ethylene (TDAE 1), has been exploited for the first time as a mild reagent for the reduction of arenediazonium salts to aryl radical intermediates through a single electron transfer (SET) pathway. Cyclization of the aryl radicals produced in this way led, in appropriate substrates, to syntheses of indolines and indoles. Cascade radical cyclizations of aryl radicals derived from arenediazonium salts are also reported. The relative ease of removal of the oxidized by-products of TDAE from the reaction mixture makes the methodology synthetically attractive.

The formation of 3-ferrocenylmethyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran (5a) and similar products bearing cyclized substituents, when ferrocene or mixtures of ferrocene and ferrocenium ion are treated witho - allyloxybenzene - or o-but-3-enyloxybenzene-dimonium salts, provides unequivocal evidence for the intermediacy of free aryl radicals in the reaction of ferrocene with arenediazonium salts. The results are consistent with a mechanism involving electron transfer and dediazoniation followed by homolytic attack on ferroce nium ion.

Hantzsch esters and oxygen convert diazonium salts into aryl radicals, enabling rapid radical reactions to be performed in open flasks at room temperature.
