✦ Synopsis


An interesting 2,4-syn dialkyl diastereoselection has been observed in the radical debromination of a-bromo-a-methyld-valerolactones. The reaction of 4-alkyl-2-bromo-3-hydroxy-2-methyl-5-pentanolides with Bu 3 SnH and a catalytic amount of Et 3 B gave, essentially, a single diastereomer with a 2,4-syn dialkyl relationship, independent of the orientation of the hydroxy substituent at C-3.
