Alkyl radicals are usually prepared either by chain methods, the homolytic cleavage of covalent bonds, or by nonchain methods based on redox reactions. 1 One of the latter accesses radicals by reduction of alkyl halides (RX) with reducing agents; however, the method is not so popular as further reduction of the initial radicals (R•) leading to alkyl anions (R-) normally proceeds faster than the first radical formation under the reduction conditions. 3 Although intramolecular radical cyclization before anionic reactions has been observed in several cases, 2a, 3 there are few examples of the intermolecular version due to the above restriction. 4, 5 Two requirements exist for a suitable reducing agent to connect the two reactions:(1) The initial radial (R•) is not easily reduced to R-and has a sufficient lifetime to undergo an intermolecular reaction.(2) The final radical (R′•) is easily subjected by oneelectron reduction to R′-. Therefore, the desired reductant should be weak enough to be able to discriminate between the two radicals R• and R′•. With these considerations in mind, here, a novel manganese-lead reducing agent was utilized, and the above concept was realized as a three-component coupling reaction. Manganese powder6 is less reactive toward organic compounds than zinc powder due to a tight layer of manganese oxide on its surface. Recently, it was found that such metal oxide is effectively removed by treatment with Me3SiCl; 7, 8 and moreover, the manganese metal is especially activated by addition of a catalytic amount of PbCl2. 7 Treatment of alkyl iodide 1 with the activated manganese metal afforded four compounds, which suggests the formation of an alkyl radical by reduction of the iodide with the manganese system (eq 1).Intermolecular 1, 4-addition to an R, β-unsaturated ester in a protic solvent was achieved in an excellent yield under mild conditions (eq 2). 9 It is likely, therefore, that the second one-electron reduction leading to an alkylmanganese compound is slower than the first reduction with this manganese system.
