Abstract

A detailed mechanistic investigation was undertaken to determine the dominating factors of the postelectron transfer steps in the SmI2-promoted carbon− carbon bond forming reaction between N-acyl oxazolidinones and acrylamides. Competition experiments were performed by reacting two N-acyl oxazolidinones with a limiting amount of Nt-butyl acrylamide, and from the product distribution, the relative reactivity values (RV) for a series of N-acyl ...
