COMPETITION RATE CONSTANTS FOR ADDITION OF CYCLOHEXYL RADICAL TO AMIDE SUBSTITUTED ALKENES: ORIGINS OF ACYCLIC STEREOSELECTION IN RADICAL ADDITIONS

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(00)74863-5

Competition rate constants were determined for the addition of cyclohexyl radical to α,β unsaturated amides derived from pyrrolidine and trans-2,5-dimethylpyrrolidine.The relative rates can be understood by single crystal X-Ray analyses of the alkenes and
