Radical chain alkylations of the SRN-type are described that involve the abstraction of a proton from intermediate adduct radicals to form radical anions capable of chain propagation by electron transfer to alkylmercury halides.Vinylic SRN

Photolysis of alkylmercury halides in the presence of electronegatively-substituted 1-alkenes yields adduct radicals [RCH2CH(EWG).] that in some cases react with RHgX to form RCH2CH(HgX)(EWG), e.g., EWG = (EtO)2PO or PhSO2. When the EWG is carbonyl or cyano, the resonance stabilized adduct radicals fail to react with the alkyl mercury halide. In these cases photolysis with RHgCl/KI in Me2SO leads to the adduct mercurial via reaction of the adduct radicals with RHgI2-. The reactions of tertiary-enolyl adduct radicals are inefficient with RHgX/KI, and disproportionation of the adduct radicals is the major reaction pathway. For secondary- or tertiary-adduct radicals the reductive alkylation products are formed in excellent yield by reaction with RHgCl and silyl hydrides in Me2SO solution in a process postulated to involve RHgH as an intermediate. The relative reactivities of a number of α,β-unsaturated systems toward t-Bu. have been measured by competitive techniques. The results demonstrate a high reactivity of s-cis enones relative to the s-trans conformers.
