Alkyl alkanesulphonates and arenesulphonates were found to be useful sources of sulphonyl radicals, particularly for spectroscopic work, when treated with organotin or organosilyl radicals.Allyl, propynyl and penta-2,4-dienyl methanesulphonates gave, however, allyl, propynyl and pentadienyl radicals, respectively.Sulphonyl radicals generated in this way added efficiently to alk-1-enes with electron-releasing substituents, and the EPR spectra of the adduct radicals were recorded.A variety of radical initiation systems were tried on pent-4-enesulphonyl chloride.The pent-4-enesulphonyl radical cyclised mainly in the endo mode to give the six-membered-ring sulphone.Similarly, the hex-5-enesulphonyl radical cyclised to give thiepane 1,1-dioxide, with a seven-membered ring.The cyclohex-2-enylethanesulphonyl radical cyclised mainly in the exo mode to give 2-chloro-9-thiabicyclononane 9,9-dioxide.The mechanisms of these reactions are discussed.
