Alkyl radicals have been cyclised onto pyrroles, imidazoles and pyrazoles, and acyl radicals cyclised onto pyrroles, using Bu3SnH-, (TMS)3SiH- and Bu3GeH-mediated aromatic homolytic substitution for the synthesis of bicyclic N-heterocycles. The reactions yield intermediate π-radicals that lose hydrogen in the?rearomatisation step of the aromatic homolytic substitution. Mechanistic studies of these rearomatisation steps indicate aromatic homolytic substitution in which the initiator or breakdown products from the inhibitor are responsible for the H-abstraction step.

Oxidative radical cyclisation using Bu3SnH has been used for the synthesis of [1,2-c]-fused imidazoles and [1,2-a]-fused pyrroles from imidazolecarbaldehydes and acylpyrroles respectively. The intermediate nucleophilic N-alkyl radicals cyclise onto imidazole and pyrrole rings followed by oxidative re-aromatisation.
