Abstract
The chemical reactivity of radical cations derived from N,O-ketene acetals has been examined and compared with the reactivity of radical cations derived from both ketene dithioacetals and enol ethers. Synthetically, the N,O-ketene acetal radical cations lead to more efficient cyclization reactions than either the ketene dithioacetal or enol ether derived radical cations. Cyclic voltammetry experiments using allylsilane trapping groups show that the efficiency of these cyclizations is not due to the N,O-ketene acetal radical cations being more reactive but rather more stable to decomposition. Finally, cyclizations using chiral oxizolidinones were examined.
