HOMOLYTIC DISPLACEMENT AT CARBON: FIRST EXAMPLE OF α-ATTACK IN THE ALLENYL AND PROPARGYL COBALOXIMES

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(00)85094-7

The reactions of allenyl and propalgyl cobaloximes with organosulphonyl chlorides under anaerobic and photochemical conditions form sulphones by a novel homolytic attack at the α carbon to the metal.
