Depending on the structure of the precursor, the cyclizations occur to provide fused and spirocyclic imines with five-, six-, and seven-membered rings. The initial radical cyclization produces an α-sulfonamidoyl radical that undergoes elimination to form the imine and a phenylsulfonyl radical. In a related method, 3,4-dihydroquinolines can also be produced by radical translocation reactions of N-(2- iodophenylsulfonyl)tetrahydroiso-quinolines. In either case, very stable sulfonamides are cleaved to form imines (rather than amines) under mild reductive conditions. © 2013 American Chemical Society. date: 2013-11-06 type: Article type: PeerReviewed format: text/plain language: en rights: attached identifier: http://d-scholarship-dev.library.pitt.edu/27267/1/licence.txt identifier: Zhang, H and Hay, EB and Geib, SJ and Curran, DP (2013) Radical cyclizations of cyclic ene sulfonamides occur with β-elimination of sulfonyl radicals to form polycyclic imines.
