Synthesis and Application of Stable Nitroxide Free Radicals Fused with Carbocycles and Heterocycles (original) (raw)

2019, Current Organic Chemistry

Stable nitroxide free radicals have traditionally been associated with 2,2,6,6- tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO) or its 4-substituted derivatives as relatively inexpensive and readily accessible compounds with limited possibilities for further chemical modification. Over the past two decades, there has been a resurgence of interest in stable free radicals with proper functionalization tuned for various applications. The objective of this review is to present recent results with synthetic methodologies to achieve stable nitroxide free radicals fused with aromatic carbocycles and heterocycles. There are two main approaches for accessing stable nitroxide free radicals fused with arenes, e.g., isoindoline- like nitroxides: further functionalization and oxidation of phthalimide or inventive functionalization of pyrroline nitroxide key compounds. The latter also offers the constructions of versatile heterocyclic scaffolds (furan, pyrrole, thiophene, 1,2-thiazole, selenophene, pyrazole...
