✦ Synopsis


Radical cyclisation of (1) in the presence of Co(I) species leads to the cis-ring fused alkyl cobalt complex(6) which can be converted, in a preparative manner, into (8) following 1,2-elimination [to (7)] and hydrolysis/ oxidation, and into (12) following photo-oxygenation [to (15)], reduction [to (16)], and hydrolysis/oxidation.

The overwhelming majority of free radical cyclisation reactions are performed under reductive conditions, with the result that ring formation
