Tin hydride-mediated radical additions to a series of α-methylene-glutarates 1, furnishing 2;4-dialkyl-substituted glutarates 3 are reported. The diastereoselectivity of hydrogen transfer to the intermediate adduct radicals 2, possessing a stereogenic center in γ-position, was disappointing in the temperature range of -78 to 80 °C. However, the reactions proved to be able to proceed with excellent 1,3-diastereoselectivities under chelation-controlled conditions, depending on the steric impacts of 2- and 4-alkyl substituents as well as on the ester-alkyl moiety and choice of Lewis acid. Using MgBr2·OEt2 as additive, syn-selectivities of 98:2 were achieved upon initial tert-butyl radical addition at -78 °C. High anti-diastereoselectivities were observed in the MgBr2·OEt2-controlled pathway at 70 °C when smaller alkyl radicals such as cyclohexyl, ethyl, and methyl were applied. Interesting and uncommon temperature dependences were observed in the temperature range of -78 to 100 °C, revealing strong entropic effects in the transition states. A model that accounts for the opposed stereochemical outcomes under chelation-controlled conditions is presented.

Alkanes can be added to alkenes in a free radical chain reaction ("ane reaction").Regioselectivity in the addition of cyclohexane to (E)-3-alkyl substituted methyl acrylates have been measured at 300-450C.The ratio of the two regioisomers 3 and 4 shows a correlation with steric substituent constants Es.Relative rates of the addition of cyclohexyl radical to the alkene and β-scission of the adduct radical versus H-transfer from cyclohexane are determining the ratio of the regioisomers.A minor temperature dependence of regioselectivity has been observed.In relation to the products 3 and 4, ane reaction at a temperature of 450C can be more selective than radical addition reaction at room temperature.Regioselectivity of the addition of cyclohexane to methyl cinnamate at 360-420C shows a slight polar substituent effect.Electron withdrawing substituents have been shown to increase product ratio 4/3.
The Alkoxy-Alkoxycarbonylation of Allenes

Allene undergoes alkoxy-alkoxycarbonylation under exceedingly mild conditions (CO-O2-MeOH-PdCl2-CuCl2, 0 deg C, 1 atm) affording methyl 2-methoxymethylacrylate in good yield; in the case of 1,1-disubstituted allenes the reaction is regiospecific although
