Tracking the Process of a Solvothermal Domino Reaction Leading to a Stable Triheteroarylmethyl Radical: A Combined Crystallographic and Mass-Spectrometric Study

A new free carbon radical was obtained in a microwaveassisted solvothermal reaction of the primary amine (1methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)methanamine with FeCl3·6H2O in methanol at 1408C. Through a combination of crystallography and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, the reaction process was studied. The longest domino reaction includes 14 steps and forms up to 12 new covalent bonds (9 CN and 3 CC bonds) and 3 five-membered heterocycles. For the first time, the homolytic cleavage of a CO bond was used to synthesize a triarylmethyl radical.
