Alkoxyamine-mediated radical cyclizations

Org Lett. 2003 Apr 3;5(7):1079-81. doi: 10.1021/ol0341187.

Abstract

[reaction: see text] We present a new "conjunctive" radical cyclization process that involves the reaction of a 1,6-diene with the Tordo alkoxyamine, an agent originally developed for the radical polymerization of certain olefins through the "persistent radical effect".
