Abstract

Synthesis of chiral tricyclo[3.2.1.02,7]octanes by efficient and exclusive 3-exo-trig radical cyclisation of either a bicyclo[3.2.1]oct-6-en-2-yl radical or a bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-5-en-2-yl radical is described. Reaction of the methoxy enones 7a–c with boron tribromide at low temperature furnishes the bicyclo[3.2.1]octenyl bromides 9a–c and 10a–c along with varying amounts of 8a–c, whereas the methoxy enone 7d provides the unrearranged bicyclo[2.2.2]octenyl bromide 8d. Treatment of the homoallyl bromides 9a–c and 10a–c and 8d with tributyltin hydride and AIBN generates, exclusively, the tricyclic ketones 15a–d.

  14. Except in the conversion of 7d into 8d, in all the reactions with BBr3, the ratio of the bromides 8, 9 and 10 varied from batch to batch, perhaps due to variation in the temperature of the reaction.
