| The viability of performing a radical-mediated ring expansion on the indanyl and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalenyl rings will be described. Fusing a cyclopropylcarbinyl radical group onto the non-aromatic portion of these rings presents a bifurcated pathway that can lead either to expansion or non-expansion. Ring size (indanyl vs 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalenyl), as well as the orientation of these rings to the cyclopropylcarbinyl radical group, influences the direction that the cyclopropylcarbinyl radical will fragment. Thermokinetic data for these systems will be presented. |
