Formation of Carbon–Heteroatom Bonds 169 has been proposed as a versatile alternative to phenylseleno esters for the generation of acyl radicals [73]. Acyl radicals can in turn give addition to azides affording the cyclized products in satisfactory yields (Reaction 7.63) [74]. O I S N3 n 59 (TMS) 3SiH AIBN, 80 �C n = 1 n = 2 O 81% 75% NH n + S 60 (7.63) Similarly, C w Se bonds are formed by an internal homolytic substitution of aryl radicals at selenium, with the preparation of selenophenes and benzeneselenophenes [75]. Scheme 7.7 illustrates the reaction of aryl iodides 61 with (TMS) 3SiH, which afforded benzeneselenophenes in good yields. The presence of (TMS) 3SiI after the reduction induced the final dehydration of the intermediate 3-hydroxyselenophenes, presumably through an intermediate silyl ether.

Reflux of bromide 62 in benzene and in the presence of small amounts of (TMS) 3SiH and AIBN afforded the silabicycle 63 in 88 % yield (Reaction 7.64) [76]. The key step for this transformation is the intramolecular homolytic substitution at the central silicon atom, which occurred with a rate constant of 2:4 10 5 s 1 at 80 8C (see also Section 6.4). The reaction has also been extended to the analogous vinyl bromide (Reaction 7.65) [49]. R'
