Abstract

Oxidn. of 12 RR1CHCH(CO2Et)2 [R = (un)substituted Ph, R1 = H, Me] by Mn(OAc)3 in AcOH2, Ce(NH4)2(NO)6 in MeOH, or Fe(CHO4)3 in MeCN in the presence of 19 R2R3C:CHR4 [R2 = H, alkyl, alkenyl, Ph, AcO, EtO2C, cyano, etc.; R3 = H, Me3CCH2, Me, EtO2C, EtO2CCH:CH; R4 = H, Me, EtO2C; R2R4 = (CH2)4, CH:CHCH2] was studied. The results are consistent with a common mechanism involving selective generation of malonyl radicals from high-valent metal malonyl complexes, their addn. to the olefin, and competition of the adduct radical between intramol. cyclization to produce highly functionalized tetrahydronaphthalenes I (XC6H4 = R) and oxidn. by metal salt to give mainly γ-lactones II. Several electron-withdrawing and -releasing substituents on the arom. ring and on the olefin can be successfully used in the synthesis of I without olefin telomerization. The influence of metal and olefin or arom. substituents on the homolytic addn. and intramol. arom. substitution is discussed
