✦ Synopsis
Treatment of radical precursor 15a having a vinyl sulfide moiety with Bu 3 SnH in the presence of AIBN in boiling benzene afforded exclusively the 6-exo cyclization product 16a, whereas similar treatment of the exo-methylene compound 15b gave a mixture of the 6-exo cyclization product 16b and the endo-olefin product 17 formed by a 1,5-hydrogen shift. Based on these findings, the synthesis of (-)-aphanorphine was achieved using a sulfur-directed 6-exo-selective aryl radical cyclization of 22.

Enamides 10, upon treatment with Bu 3 SnH-AIBN, gave 5-exo aryl radical cyclization products 11, which were partially desulfurized to give 1-substituted dihydroisoindoles 7 and 12. This method was applied to the synthesis of a model compound 4 of mappicine ketone (1).
