Intramolecular Reactions Using Amide Links: Aryl Radical Cyclisation of Silylated Acryloylanilides

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(00)78372-9

Aryl radical cyclisations of in situ silylated o-bromoacryloylanilides are presented and shown to lead to N-unsubstituted oxindoles and dihydroquinolones in very different ratios than those previously observed for the N-alkyl o-bromoacryloylanilides.
