- W85881352 abstract "This thesis is concerned with the reactions of sulfur-centred radicals and alkynes. The first objective of this work was to extend the scope of “self-terminating radical cyclisations” to sulfur-centred radicals, such as thiyl radicals. Preliminary experiments revealed that the reaction of thiyl radicals with alkynes was sensitive to residual oxygen. In the absence of oxygen, the reactions of photochemically generated phenylthiyl radicals with cyclodecyne (1) resulted in three isomeric sulfides, which were identified through a combination of techniques. (1S,6S)-2-phenylthiobicyclo[4.4.0]decane (trans-49a, unknown stereochemistry at C2) was identified by synthesis of an authentic sample, while the structure of (1S,2R,6S)-2-phenylthiobicyclo[4.4.0]decane (cis-49a1) was determined by X-ray analysis of the corresponding crystalline sulfone, cis-69. The third sulfide, (1S,2S,6S)-2-phenylthio-bicyclo[4.4.0]decane (cis-49a2), was assigned based on computational studies. In addition, the reactions of benzylthiyl, tert-butylthiyl and allylthiyl radicals with cyclodecyne (1) were investigated. Various sources of thiyl radical generation were utilized, such as the photolysis of disulfides and thiols, hydrogen atom abstraction of thiols using radical initiators, as well as thiol autoxidation in the presence of oxygen. The radical cascade initiated by the addition of thiyl radicals to alkyne 1 was typically terminated by either reduction or disproportionation, whereas “self-termination” was only observed in one particular instance where the tert-butylthiyl radical was generated by autoxidation. However, this was only a minor pathway. The second objective of this work was to investigate the reactions of thiyl radicals with alkynes in the presence of oxygen. For this purpose, phenylthiyl radicals were generated in the presence of diphenylacetylene (89) and molecular oxygen. Benzil (91), an α-diketone, and 1,2-diphenyl-2-(phenylthio)ethanone (93), an α-ketosulfide, were formed. The novel thiyl radical-mediated oxidation of diphenylacetylene to benzil mediated proceeds under mild and metal-free conditions, using various methods of thiyl radical generation. The product ratio of diketone to ketosulfide varied with the reaction conditions. Under photochemical conditions, benzil was formed but its photodegradation was also observed. Using autoxidation, moderate to good yields of both diketone 91 and ketosulfide 93 were obtained, although the product ratios varied with solvent and reaction conditions. Diketone 91 was the major product when the thiyl radical was generated electrochemically. Following investigation of the reaction mechanism using experimental and computational studies, the phenylthiyl peroxyl radical was identified as the key reactive intermediate. This represents the first synthetic application of thiyl peroxyl radicals. Using autoxidation conditions, the oxidation was explored using substituted aromatic thiyl radicals, e.g. 2,6-dimethylbenzene, 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylbenzene, 4-methoxybenzene and 4-nitrobenzene thiyl radicals. Except for the case of 4-methoxybenzene thiyl radicals, where generation of the thiyl radicals was inefficient, diketone 91 was formed as the dominant product. This oxidation of alkynes to ketones, via thiyl radical-mediated activation of oxygen, was then applied to cyclodecyne (1). Bicyclic ketones 7/8 were found as the major products under photochemical conditions, while sulfides 152/trans-49a were the dominant products under autoxidation conditions. Bicyclic ketones 7/8 were formed due to the intramolecular radical processes directed by the transannular strain of the ten-membered carbon framework. Only trace amounts of the cyclic α-diketone 151 were detected under autoxidation conditions." @default.
