{ Experimental: LiAlH4 reduction of 1a. To a solution of 1a (100 mg,
0.34 mmol) in THF (2 cm3) was added LiAlH4 (80%, 39 mg, 0.82 mmol) at
room temperature under N2 and the mixture was stirred for 1 h, quenched
with cold sat. NH4Cl, and worked up in the usual manner to give 45 mg
(95%) of 3a after column chromatography (SiO2, hexane–AcOEt 10:1 and
5:1). Grignard reaction of 4. To a solution of 4 (100 mg, 0.32 mmol) in THF
(2 cm3) was added dropwise PhMgBr (1.0 M in THF, 0.96 cm3, 0.96 mmol)
at 0 uC under N2 and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h,
quenched with cold sat. NH4Cl. Usual workup and purification by column
chromatography (SiO2, hexane–AcOEt 10:1 and 5:1) gave 112 mg (83%) of
7b (R 5 Ph).14
10 The electron density of the HOMO of O-acetylTEMPO was probed by
using PM3 semiempirical energy minimizations (MOPAC2002 in
CAChe Worksystem Pro 5.04) and the calculation showed that the
highest value was located on the nitrogen atom of the TEMPO ester.
