Kinetic Studies on theN,N-Type Smiles Rearrangement

Radical Smiles Rearrangement: An Update.

Over the decades the Smiles rearrangement and its variants have become essential synthetic tools in modern synthetic organic chemistry. In this mini-review we summarized some very recent results of the radical version of these rearrangements. The selected examples illustrate the synthetic power of this approach, especially if it is incorporated into a domino process, for the preparation of poly...

First domino radical cyclisation/Smiles rearrangement combination.

An unprecedented domino radical cyclisation-Smiles rearrangement process affording 3-(2'-aryl-N-methyl acetamido)indolin-2-ones is presented. Experimental rationalisation of this approach and description of an unexpected tricyclic core are also handled.

Synthesis of fluorinated fused benzofurans and benzothiophenes: Smiles-type rearrangement and cyclisation of perfluoro(het)aryl ethers and sulfides.

Lithium-bromine exchange in 2-bromophenyl perfluoroaryl ethers or sulfides affords fused fluorinated benzofurans or benzothiophenes respectively by S(N)Ar substitution of the adjacent fluorine in the perfluoroaryl substituent. The structures of the new compounds were confirmed by NMR spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. In the case of 2-bromophenyl tetrafluoropyrid-4-yl e...
