Abstract

Radical merry-go-round: A highly efficient metal-free transformation of phenols into benzamides is designed through one-step conversion of phenols to aryl thiocarbamates and a subsequent radical addition/rearrangement/fragmentation cascade. Computational analysis fully rationalizes the experimentally observed selectivity. Despite the possible competition from NC fragmentation and N-neophyl rearrangement, the transformation exclusively follows the most kinetically and thermodynamically favored O-neophyl rearrangement path.
