Chiral N-hydroxybenzamides (1H-3H) have been synthesized as precursors of chiral short-lived N-oxyl radicals 1o-3o. The latter species have been generated by oxidation of 1H-3H with Pb(OAc)4 or hydrogen abstraction from 1H-3H by the tert-butoxyl radical and characterized by UV-vis spectrophotometry and EPR spectroscopy. Through a kinetic study of the hydrogen atom transfer processes promoted by 1o-3o from three chiral benzylic substrates (1- phenylethylamine, 1-phenylethanol, and ?-vinylbenzyl alcohol), a moderate chiral discrimination has been found, with selectivity factors 0.5 <= kH(S)/kH(R) <= 2.

Abstract
Chiral N-hydroxybenzamides (1H-3H) have been synthesized as precursors of chiral short-lived N-oxyl radicals 1o-3o. The latter species have been generated by oxidation of 1H-3H with Pb(OAc)4 or hydrogen abstraction from 1H-3H by the tert-butoxyl radical and characterized by UV-vis spectrophotometry and EPR spectroscopy. Through a kinetic study of the hydrogen atom transfer processes promoted by 1o-3o from three chiral benzylic substrates (1- phenylethylamine, 1-phenylethanol, and ?-vinylbenzyl alcohol), a moderate chiral discrimination has been found, with selectivity factors 0.5 <= kH(S)/kH(R) <= 2.File in questo prodotto:
