    THE REACnVITY OF FLUORINATED RADICALS IN LIQUID PHASE By XIAOXINRONG A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA . TO MOM, DAD AND XIAO JUN ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I wish to express my gratitude for the excellent guidance and friendship of my research advisor. Dr. William R. Dolbier, Jr. It is he who has made the fulfillment of this dream come true. His enthusiasm for chemistry and his understanding nature have been an inspiration to me throughout the course of my graduate studies. With Professor Dolbier, the chemistry is always surmountable and one comes away with a positive feeling towards oneself and the tasks ahead, which has led to an enjoyable and rewarding experience. I would like to give my special thanks to my committee members, especially. Dr. David H. Powell for giving me a chance to work in the mass-spectrum lab. in the early years of my graduate studies, which made me learn mass spectrometry systematically. Such knowledge has given me a lot of benefits in my research work. It is a pleasure to thank the many friends and colleagues I have met and worked with at the University of Florida. Due to my extended stay in the Dolbier group, thanks are required to a number of lab-mates; Conrad Burkholder for stimulating discussions, Michael Bartberger for his help in lab-management, Michelle Fletcher for her help in English to write this dissertation, Lu Lian, Rogelio Ocampo, Melvin Wagner, Luz Amalia, and more recently Xu Yuelian, Hao Jian, all for providing valuable friendships.

  • Formation and Structure of Radicals from D-Ribose and 2-Deoxy- D-Ribose by Reactions with SO 4 Radicals in Aqueous Solution
    Formation and Structure of Radicals from D-Ribose and 2-Deoxy- D-ribose by Reactions with SO 4 Radicals in Aqueous Solution. An in-situ Electron Spin Resonance Study Janko N. Herak Faculty of Pharmacy and Biochemistry, The University of Zagreb, Zagreb. Croatia, Yugoslavia Günter Behrens Max-Planck-Institut für Strahlenchemie. D-4330 Mülheim a.d. Ruhr, Bundesrepublik Deutschland Z. Naturforsch. 41c, 1062 — 1068 (1986); received January 31, 1986 Free Radicals, Deoxy-D-ribose, D-Ribose, Conformational Kinetics, Electron Spin Resonance ESR spectroscopy has been used to analyse the conformation of the radicals produced by the reaction of SOj with D-ribose (1),and 2-deoxy-D-ribose (6 ),at pH 1.3-5. From ribose three different types of radicals formed by H abstraction at C-l, C-2 and C-3 followed by a regio- selective a,ß-water elimination have been identified: the 2-deoxy-ribonolacton-2-yl (3), the 1-deoxy-pentopyranos-2-ulos-l-yl (4). and the 4-deoxy-pentopyranos-3-ulos-4-yl (2). Using deoxyribose two radicals of similar type, formed by H abstraction at C-3 and C-4 followed by water elimination, have been observed: the 2,4-dideoxy-3-ulos-4-yl (7) and the 2,3-dideoxy-4- ulos-3-yl (8). In addition, from both sugars an a-hydroxyalkyl radical has been identified based in part on the timing of their conformational motions: the ribos-3-yl (5) (the precursor of 2) and the 2-deoxy-ribos-l-yl (9), respectively. For radical 5 the rate constant k(e) for the water elimination and hence transformation into radical 2 was estimated.

  • Intermolecular Radical Carboamination of Alkenes

Rev., 2020, Heng Jiang and Armido Studer * 49,1790 Vicinal alkene carboamination is a highly efficient and practical synthetic strategy for the straightforward preparation of diverse and valuable amine derivatives starting from simple compounds. During the last decade that approach has found continuous research interests and various practical methods have been developed using transition-metal catalysis. Driven by the renaissance of synthetic radical chemistry, intermolecular radical alkene carboamination comprising a C–C bond and a C–N bond forming step has been intensively investigated recently culminating in novel strategiesandimprovedprotocolswhichcomplementexisting methodologies. Radical alkene carboamination can be achieved via three different reaction modes. Such cascades can proceed through N-radical addition to an alkene with subsequent C–C bond formation leading to 2,1-carboamination products. Alternatively,theC–CbondcanbeinstalledpriortotheC–Nbondvia initial C-radical addition to the alkene with subsequent b-amination resulting in 1,2-carboamination.

    J. Serb. Chem. Soc. 70 (3) 287–318 (2005) UDC 546.26.027*14:542.9 JSCS–3273 Review paper REVIEW Reactions of carbon radicals generated by 1,5-transposition of reactive centers @IVORAD ^EKOVI]# Faculty of Chemistry, Studentski trg 16, P.O. Box 158, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia and Montenegro (Received 6 November 2004) Abstract: Radical intermediates can undergo specific reactions, such as intramole- cular rearrangements, i.e., the transpositions of radical centers, which are not known in classical ionic organic reactions. 1,5-Transposition of a radical center to a non-ac- tivated carbon atom are of great synthetic importance. It can be successfully applied for the introduction of different functional groups (oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, halo- gens) onto a carbon atom remote from the present functional group. In addition to functionalization of a remote non-activated carbon atom, the formation of new C-C bonds on the d-carbon atom have also been achieved. 1,5-Transposition of the radi- cal centers takes place from alkoxyl, aminyl and carbon radicals to a remote carbon atom. Relocation of the radical centers preferentially involves 1,5-transfer of a hy- drogen atom, although migrations of some other groups are known. The reactions of the carbon radical generated by 1,5-relocation of the radical center are presented and their synthetic applications are reviewed. Keywords: radical reactions, 1,5-transposition of radicals, hydrogen transfer, groups migration, intramolecular functionalization, Cd–C bond formation. CONTENTS 1. Introduction 2. 1,5-Transposition of a radical center by hydrogen atom abstraction. General remarks. 3. Radical transpositions from an oxygen to a carbon atom involving a 1,5-hydro- gen transfer 3.1.
