Shan, Xiaojie published the artcile2,2′-Azodi(2-methylbutyronitrile) (AMBN) Promoted Alkenylation of Cyclic Ethers via Radical Addition to β-Nitrostyrenes, Recommanded Product: (E)-4-(2-Nitrovinyl)benzonitrile, the publication is ChemistrySelect (2022), 7(13), e202200425, database is CAplus.
It is reported the alkenylation of cyclic ethers via radical addition to β-nitrostyrenes in the presence of AMBN without any other additives under mild conditions. A wide range of β-nitrostyrenes and various ethers are tested in this reaction, most cases are happed smoothly with excellent to good yields. Cyclohexane also could be reacted under the conditions with moderate yield. According to the control experiments, the reaction mechanism was proposed. It is found that AMBN could induce to hydrogen abstraction from sp3 carbon under oxygen atm. This reaction system possesses the advantages of very high reactivity, stability, and convenient preparation method. Especially, it is very useful in the pharmacy industry due to the metal-free and easy treatment conditions.
