Unimolecular Chain Transfer (UMCT) Reactions of Silicon Hydrides: Controlling Relative Configuration in Hydrogen Transfer Reactions of Cyclic Radicals

Article abstract of DOI:10.1055/s-1997-1546

UMCT-controlled sequences of radical cyclization followed by 1,5-hydrogen transfer from diphenylsilanes or bis(trimethylsilyl)-silanes are introduced. The later silanes have improved reactivity.
