Abstract
(Chemical Equation Presented) Radical addition of various xanthates to N,N′-diacylimidazol-2-one occurs readily to give protected 1,2-diamines. The imide group stabilizes the adduct radical sufficiently to enable a second addition to unactivated alkenes. In some cases, the addition product could be converted into an indoline, a tetralone, or further added to an indole. Regioselective removal of one acyl group could also be accomplished.
