The mechanistic fate of alkenyl α-nitroalkyl free
radicals generated in the following reactions has been
studied: SRN1 reactions between α-bromonitro compounds and
nucleophiles, reductive reactions between α-substituted
nitro compounds and tri-n-butyltin(IV)hydride (Bu3SnH) or
1,4-dihydro-N-benzylnicotinamide (BNAH), oxidative
reactions between alkenyl nitronate anions and nucleophiles
and the photolytic rearrangement of α-iodonitro compounds
have all been studied. [Continues.]
