Radical addition scheme
« on: February 23, 2014, 05:21:44 AM »
The problem is attached, I need to determine the unknown compounds. I will attach my attempt in the next post.

The whole problem can be found here http://icho2014.hus.edu.vn/Preparatory-Problems/0001/01/Preparatory-Problems-224.html it is the 23rd.

What transformation will F undergo?

What happens to the primary radical you formed by closing the ring. Is there not a substituent on that methyl group?

Do the radical cyclisation you end up with a primary radical, what happens to it?

I forgot the radical on the methyl group, it will undergo a transformation with the azide, right? But where does the methyl on nitrogen come from?

I don't think it reacts with the azide

What else path could afford the final compound?

If your compound F is correct, what could compound G be?, Compound G looses N2 after acid treatment. So F must be some sort of reactive intermediate that transforms to G, your F will not do anything.

OK, you have a primary radical, lets say it reacts with the azide, what compound do you get?

this compound
[C]C1(CCN=[N+]=[N-])C2=CC(OC)=CC=C2N(CC3=CC=CC=C3)C1=O

the thing the smiles had marked C(1) is supposed to be a radical

The primary radical has to react with nitrogen, N2 will be released, so the final compound after treatment with CH3X would be obtained, I think. But I can't think of a mechanism for the reaction.

Then the lone pair from nitrogen will end up forming a triple bond, and the other N-N bond will be cleaved to form nitrogen molecule and a radical that will abstract a hydrogen to obtain I?
