1. Introduction
2. Polarity Reversal Catalysis
Hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) is a concerted movement of a proton and an electron (i.e., H•)
in a single kinetic step from one group to another. (Mayer, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2007, 5153)
A useful concept in HAT is radical polarity. Despite being uncharged species, radicals can
have nucleophilic or electrophilic tendancies.
A—H +
B•
A•
+ B—H
By definition, HAT is intimately linked to organic free readical chemistry, with one of the
most useful hydrogen atom transfers in organic synthesis being the termination of a carbon
centered radical with Bu 3SnH. (Curran, Tetrahedron Lett. 1985, 4991)

Although nBu 3SnH is a great hydrogen atom
donor (BDE = 78 kcal/mol), it's toxicity is a
well-known problem and it can be difficult to
purify nBu 3SnX byproducts away from the
desired product.

A qualitative approach to determining the "philicity" of a radical
1. Consider the oxidized (cationic) and reduced (anionic) forms of A•
2. Determine which of the forms is more stable
3. Assign the "philicity" of the radical:
a. If A+ is more stable, A• is a nucleophilic radical because it wants to lose an e –
b. If A– is more stable, A• is an electrophilic radical because it wants to gain an e –

Replace with two steps

Adding a catalyst that replaces the polarity mismatched step with two polarity matched ones
should yield a net favorable reaction. This known as polarity reversal catalysis (PRC).

A HAT mechanism (molecule-assisted homolysis) was proposed to occur based on the
Polanyi relationship and other kinetic evidence. (Mayer, Science 1995, 1849)

However, neither of the proposed mechanisms invoked HAT :

For metal oxo species, HAT reactivity is determined by strength of bond being formed, not
electronic structure of oxidant.

The bond strength of the formed
H–OMnO 3- was calculated to be
80 kcal/mol [between that of
ROOH (89 kcal/mol) and HI (70
kcal/mol)]
Another
Polanyi
relationship
shows that MnO 4 abstracts H• at
approximately the same rate as a
theoretical O-centered radical that
also has a O–H BDE of 80
kcal/mol
