46. Recent studies on the mechanisms of alkane functionalizations with oxidizing electrophiles (A. A. Fokin, T. E. Shubina, P. A. Gunchen ko, S. D. Isaev, A. G. Yurchenko, P. R. Schreiner, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2002, 124, 10718-10727) revealed that the transition structures are characterized by significant charge transfer to the electrophile, and the hydrocarbon moieties resemble the respective radical cation structures (H-coupled electron transfer). Compound 1 forms a radical cation with one elongated C-C bond (1.855 Å, B3LYP/6-31G*) in the cyclopropane moiety showing that the most favorable reaction path with electrophilic reagents involves C-C bond breaking.
