The first examples of intramolecular addition of primary amidyl radicals to olefins are described. Amidyl radicals were generated from N-(phenylthio)amides in refluxing benzene using a catalytic amount of 2,2′- azobis(isobutyronitrile) (5 mol%) and tributyltin hydride (sim;2.2 equiv.). The resulting yields of cyclic products ranged from 63% to 85%.

To develop a novel route for the scaleable synthesis of the chiral xanthine CVT-124 (1, aka. BG9719), a method for the late stage pyrimidine ring closure of the nitrogen-protected endo 2-norbornenyl imidazole 3 was developed. The three-component coupling of benzylamine, 2-cyanoglycine ethyl ester (4), and methyl 5-norbornene-2-carboximidate hydrochloride (5) was demonstrated to achieve 3 in 23-46% isolated yields. The imidazole 3 was then elaborated to construct the N-benzyl xanthine 2 as a 1:1 mixture of exo and endo isomers, which were separable at this stage by chromatography. The nitrogen-protected endo xanthine 2 is a key intermediate in the synthesis of CVT-124.
Carbon Participation in the Solvolysis of 6-exo-substituted 2-exo- and 2-endo-Norbornyl p-Toluenesulfonates. Norbornanes Part 5

The solvolysis rates and products of the 6-exo-substituted 2-exo- 1a-1u, and 2-endo-norbornyl p-toluenesulfonates 2a-2u, have been determined.In general, the rate constants for 1 and 2 (log k) correlate well with the inductive constants ?qI of the substituents at C(6); however, their sensitivity to ?qI is much larger in the 2-exo-series 1 than in the 2-endo-series 2.This differential transmission of polar effects is the cause of decreasing 2-exo/2-endo rate ratios from 2388 for R=t-C4H9 to 0.37 for R=Br, i.e., with increasing electron attraction by the substituent.The high sensitivity of the rate constants for the 2-exo-p-toluenesulfonates 1 to ?qI indicates an unusually strong inductive interaction between C(6) and the incipient cationic center at C(2).This interaction is ascribed to the participation of the pentacoordinate C(6)-atom, i.e. to 1,3-bridging, a consequence of steric hindrance of nucleophilic solvent participation in norbornanes.Donor substituents enhanche 1,3-bridging, lead to faster reactions and to the formation of 2-exo substitution products.Conversely, acceptor substituents reduce 1,3-bridging, decrease rates and facilitate the formation of 2-endo substitution products.Graded 1,3-bridging is discussed in the light of Winstein's nonclassical ion concept.
