Radical-Mediated Construction of Cyclopentane with Concurrent
Formation of a Well-Defined Quaternary Center.
-With a view to the synthesis of cyclopentane precursors for diterpene compound (VIII), a novel radical-mediated cyclization reaction of cyclic acetals (I) and (V) is developed which gives cyclopentanes with high yields and diastereoselectivities. These cyclic acetals give much better results than an approach with an open chain precursor. Although the products have not the desired configuration for the target diterpene, compounds (III) and (VII) can serve as very useful building blocks for other synthetic targets. -(ZHU,
