Abstract

Using the radical cyclization induced by the reaction of [InlineMediaObject not available: see fulltext.] (1) with 1-(but-3-en-1-yloxy)-2-iodobenzene, we have determined the rate of allylic and propargylic C–H activation to be 1.1 ± 0.2 × 108 M−1 s−1. The rate of oxidative addition of aryl halide with 1 was estimated to be 107–108 M−1 s−1. The radical cyclization involving 1 and 1-(allyloxy)-2-iodobenzene proceeds quantitatively, indicating that the rate of cyclization (9.6 × 109 s−1) is faster than the rate of hydrocarbon/alkene/alkyne C–H abstraction.
