Further radical induced cyclisations of unsaturated sulfones
Abstract
Radical induced cyclisations of unsaturated sulfones by the endo-5-exo- and the exo-5-exo-ipso-modes are described. Thus the unsaturated allylic sulfones 4, 6 and 8 underwent cyclisation to the cyclopentyl sulfones 5, 7, and 9 and 10 respectively, while the unsaturated vinylic sulfones 14 and 15 were isomerised to the cyclopentylmethyl sulfones 17 and 18 respectively.
