SmI2–H2O-mediated 5-exo/6-exo lactone radical cyclisation cascades†
Abstract
The SmI2–H2O reagent system mediates challenging 5-exo/6-exo lactone radical cascade cyclisations that deliver carbo[5.4.0]bicyclic motifs in a diastereoselective, one-pot process that establish two new carbocyclic rings and four stereocentres.
