Tris(trimethylsilyl)silane as mediator in the radical-based allylation reactions of allyl and 2-functionalized allyl phenyl sulfones

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0040-4039(96)01355-X

Radical allylations with 2-functionalized allyl phenyl sulfones have been performed by using tris(trimethylsilyl)silane as radical mediator. Yields varied from moderate to good depending on the nature of the starting materials. EPR studies on the alkyl radical adducts of allyl sulfones have been performed and conformational information has been obtained for the tert-butyl and tetrahydrofuranyl adducts of 2-carboxy allyl tris(trimethylsilyl)silane.
