A. Srikrishna et al., CYCLOPENTAANNULATION OF ALLYL ALCOHOLS VIA A RADICAL CYCLIZATION REACTION - TOTAL SYNTHESIS OF 4-EPIBAKKENOLIDE-A, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (4), 1995, pp. 469-470
A four step cyclopentaannulation methodology starting from allyl alcoh
ols using 5-exo-trig radical cyclisation as the key reaction, and its
application to the total synthesis of 4-epibakkenolide is described.
