A novel method for the synthesis of trifluoromethyl-containing 1′H-spiro[azirine-2,4′-quinolin]-2′(3′H)-ones by a CF3-radical-triggered tandem reaction of benzene-linked 1,7-enynes is described. This protocol utilizes 1-trifluoromethyl-1,2-benziodoxole as the trifluoromethylating reagent and TMSN3 as the aminating reagent. By this method, various potentially bioactive trifluoromethylated 1′H-spiro[azirine-2,4′-quinolin]-2′(3′H)-ones were facilely synthesized via a radical cascade process.

Abstract
Hydrazonyl radicals are known for their π-electronic structures; however, their σ-electronic structures have not been reported as yet. Herein, we show that readily accessible β,γ- and γ,δ-unsaturated N-trichloroacetyl and N-trifluoroacetyl hydrazones can be conveniently converted into hydrazonyl σ radicals, which subsequently undergo 5-exo-trig radical cyclization at the N1 or N2 atom to form pyrazolines and azomethine imines, respectively.

The intramolecular addition of hydrazone radicals to carbon–carbon double bonds was achieved by using TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy) or DIAD (diisopropyl azodicarboxylate) as the hydrazone radical initiator as well as the carbon radical scavenger. Consequently, alkenes were difunctionalized to afford pyrazolines and tetrahydropyridazines via C–N forming 5-exo-trig and 6-exo-trig cyclizations, respectively, and allyls were trifunctionalized to afford pyrazolines via C–N forming tandem 1,5-H-shift/5-exo-trig cyclizations under metal-free neutral conditions.
