HOMOLYTIC DISPLACEMENT AT CARBON CENTRES. XII. REGIOSPECIFIC FORMATION OF N-ALLYL AND N-CYCLOPROPYLCARBINYL SULPHONAMIDES AND OF ALLYL AND CYCLOPROPYL HALIDES IN THE REACTION OF N-HALOGENO COMPOUNDS WITH ORGANOCOBALOXIMES

Several but-3-enyl and allylcobaloximes react regiospecifically with N-chloro-N-methyl sulphonamides to give N-cyclopropylcarbinyl- or rearranged N-allyl-N-methyl sulphonamides, by a process which is believed to take place by the attack of an N-centred radical at the terminal unsaturated carbon of the organic ligand, with displacement of cobaloxime(II).In contrast, N-bromoacetamide and several other N-halogenoimides react regiospecifically to the cyclopropylcarbinyl halide or the rearranged allyl halide by a process in which a halogen-containing free radical species attacks the terminal unsaturated carbon of the organocobaloxime.
