Abstract
The reductive ring-opening of hydroperoxides derived from cyclic ketones leads to alkyl radicals which can effectively be trapped by arenediazonium salts. This synthetic transformation yielding azo carboxylic acids or lactams, after a reductive step, can be classified as a radical version of the well-known Beckmann rearrangement. In this article, we present results on the scope, the limitations and possible applications of this new reaction type.
Key words

44After column chromatography on silica gel, a number of new compounds were detected that had not been present before. Several attempts including the variation of solvents and the use of deactivated silica gel were unsuccessful in preventing the partial decomposition of the azo carboxylic acids 9. Independent NMR experiments pointed to the formation of hydrazones as first intermediates of the decomposition pathway.
47Better selectivities can be observed with the newly developed reagents, see refs. 8, 11, 12 and 13.
48Exceptions are carboxylic acids 9ac, 9da, and 9ha, which were accompanied by hydrazones in the ratios 9/hydrazone 2:1, 3:1, and 2:1, respectively.
53The literature procedure given in ref. 52d was slightly modified by refluxing the reaction mixture for 4 hours.
