Effect of Temperature on Atom Transfer Cyclization Reactions of Allylic α-Iodo Esters and Amides

Atom-transfer cyclizations of allyl iodoacetates and N-allyl-N-methyliodoacetamides are much more efficient at 80 deg C than at 25 deg C.At 80 deg C, β-(iodomethyl) lactones and lactams are formed rapidly and in good yield under standard atom-transfer conditions (sunlamp irradiation of iodide and 10percent hexabutylditin in benzene for 10-60 min).It is proposed that this temperature effect is responsible for some unusual observations by Jolly and Livinghouse in the cyclization of N-cyclohexenyl-N-methyliodoacetamide.The results suggest that the beneficial effect of temperature arises because an increase in the rate of rotation of t he OC-O or OC-N bond in the intermediate radicals begins to convert syn radicals (which cannot cyclize) to anti radicals (which can cyclize).Consistent with this hypothesis, the radical derived from N,N-diallyliodoacetamide (which always has a favorable arrangement for cyclization) closes with excellent efficiency at 25 deg C.
Directed dihydroxylation of cyclic allylic alcohols and trichloroacetamides using OsO4/TMEDA

The oxidation of a range of cyclic allylic alcohols and amides with OsO4/TMEDA is presented. Under these conditions, hydrogen bonding control leads to the (contrasteric) formation of the syn isomer in almost every example that was examined. Evidence for the bidentate binding of TMEDA to OsO4 is presented and a plausible mechanism described.
