The first examples of intramolecular addition of primary amidyl radicals to olefins are described. Amidyl radicals were generated from N-(phenylthio)amides in refluxing benzene using a catalytic amount of 2,2′-azobis(isobutyronitrile) (5 mol%) and tributyltin hydride (~2.2 equiv.). The resulting yields of cyclic products ranged from 63% to 85%.Key words: radical cyclization, amidyl radicals, nitrogen heterocycles.

We wish to report a facile method in which a catalytic amount of bis-tri-n-butyltinoxide (TBTO) in the presence of sodium borohydride efficiently brings about the intramolecular radical cyclization of a variety of vinyl, aryl and alkyl halides to their corresponding functionalized bicyclic and tricyclic carbocycle frameworks. The methodology obviates the need for stoichiometric amounts of tin reagent normally required for radical cyclization reactions.

Two new effective methodologies have been adopted for the preparation of 4-(2′-bromobenzyloxy)benzopyran-7-ones 3(a–h). In the first methodology, 4-hydroxy[1]benzopyran-2-ones 1(a–d) was alkylated with 2-bromobenzyl bromide 2a or 2-bromo-5-methoxy benzyl bromide 2b under phase transfer catalysis condition using lithium hydroxide/tetrabutyl ammonium bromide in N,N-dimethylformamide at 40–50°C and in the second method the microwave irradiation protocol has been exploited by simply mixing of 4-hydroxy[1]benzopyran-2-ones 1(a–d) with 25% excess of 2-bromobenzyl bromide 2a or 2-bromo-5-methoxy benzyl bromide 2b. A catalytic amount of TBAB and potassium carbonate were added and irradiated in an open Erlenmeyer flask in a microwave oven for 4–10 min. The tributyltin-hydride-mediated radical cyclisation of 3(a–h) was carried out under microwave irradiation to generate 12H-benzopyrano[3,2-c][1]benzopyran-5-ones 4(a–h) in 78–88% yield and in this technique yields were significantly improved and reaction time was shortened compared to the previously reported conventional radical cyclisation method.
