We report here a mechanistically distinct tactic to carry E2-type eliminations on alkyl halides. This strategy exploits the interplay of α-aminoalkyl radical-mediated halogen-atom transfer (XAT) with desaturative cobalt catalysis. The methodology is high-yielding, tolerates many functionalities, and was used to access industrially relevant materials. In contrast to thermal E2 eliminations where unsymmetrical substrates give regioisomeric mixtures, this approach enables, by fine-tuning of the electronic and steric properties of the cobalt catalyst, to obtain high olefin positional selectivity. This unprecedented mechanistic feature has allowed access tocontra-thermodynamic olefins, elusive by E2 eliminations.

A series of amidocyclopropanes were prepared by direct amidocyclopropanation of alkenes, using organozinc carbenoids generated from readily available diethoxymethylamides. The amidocyclopropanation of monosubstituted alkenes led to selective formation of the trans-amidocyclopropane in most cases, but with more substituted alkenes, the stereochemical outcome of the cyclopropanation reactions was unpredictable. The amidocyclopropane products can be readily elaborated to structurally interesting cyclopropane containing amino acids or amino alcohols.
Reductive free-radical alkylations and cyclisations mediated by 1-alkylcyclohexa-2,5-diene-1-carboxylic acids

A range of 1-alkylcyclohexa-2,5-diene-1-carboxylic acids were prepared by Birch reduction-alkylation of benzoic acid and their efficiency as mediators of alkyl radical chain addition and cyclisation processes was investigated. Reductive alkylations were respectably successful, even with only one or two equivalents of alkene, for secondary, tertiary and benzylic radicals. Reaction of 1-[2-(cyclohex-2-enyloxy)ethyl]cyclohexa-2,5-diene-1-carboxylic acid yielded the product of exo-trig-cyclisation, i.e. 7-oxabicyclo[4.3.0]nonane, in a yield comparable to that obtained from the tributyltin hydride induced cyclisation of 3-(2′-iodoethoxy)-cyclohexene. This, together with the isolation of both exo- and endo-cyclisation products from 1-[2-(6,6-dimethylbicyclo[3.1.1]hept-2-en-2-ylmethoxy)ethyl]cyclohexa-2,5-diene- 1-carboxylic acid established that ring closures could also be satisfactorily mediated with these reagents. Preparations were completely free of metal contaminants and direct reduction of the alkyl radicals, prior to addition or cyclisation, was completely absent. However, the desired products were accompanied by alkylbenzenes, together with by-products from the initiator decompositions, and this complicated work-up. Failure to obtain 1-[2-(prop-2-yn-1-yloxy)cyclohexyl]cyclohexa-2,5-diene-1-carboxylic acid in Birch reductive alkylations with trans-1-iodo-2-(prop-2-yn-1-yloxy)cyclohexane (and the corresponding bromide) indicated a limitation on precursor synthesis. The Birch reduction-alkylation was not of universal applicability and was suppressed for alkyl halides having β-substituents.
The reaction of cyclic allylic alcohols with aliphatic alcohols in the presence of cerium(III) chloride

Cyclic secondary and tertiary allylic alcohols react with primary aliphatic alcohols in the presence of cerium(III) chloride heptahydrate to give alkyl allylic ethers. When secondary or tertiary aliphatic alcohols are used 1,3-dienes are obtained from allylic alcohols heaving the 3-methyl-2-en-1-ol moiety (3-8, 13-15).
Ion Radicals. 46. Reactions of the Adducts of Thianthrene and Phenoxathiin Cation Radicals and Cyclohexene with Nucleophiles

Thianthrene cation radical perchlorate 1a reacts with cyclohexene to give an adduct .Reactions of 2a with CN-, C6H5S-, and I- have been studied in dimethyl sulfoxide (Me2SO) and ethanol at room temperature.Reaction of the analogous adduct of cyclohexene and phenoxathiin cation radical perchlorate 2b with I- in ethanol was also studied.The reactions indicate that the adducts have the trans-1,2 structure and undergo facile substitution (SN2) and subsequent elimination (E2) reactions at room temperature.
