Abstract
Addition of bromine azide to 3,3,3-triphenylpropene (1) proceeds with phenyl migration under ionic conditions (major product, 7) but without phenyl migration under free-radical conditions (major product, 9). The two products resulting from bromination of 1 were shown to derive from simultaneous ionic and free-radical addition processes. Addition of BrN3 to 3,3-diphenylpropene (10) in polar solvents also proceeds with phenyl migration. The regiochemistry indicates steric control in the BrN3 addition. Solvent effects of a different nature were observed during phenyl migration in the IN3 addition to 3,3-diphenylpropene (10) and are interpreted in conjunction with three-membered-ring iodonium ion opening.
