Abstract
The azaallyl cation-mediated [4 + 3] cycloaddition with spiro[2.4]hept a-4,6-diene by the procedure of Schmid provides the tricyclic cycloadd ucts of general type 3. The keto bridge of the cycloadducts 17c, 21, a nd 22 has been cleaved by PhI(OAc)(2)-I-2 (Suarez cleavage), which inv olves P-fragmentation of an alkoxy radical, to furnish iodo lactones 1 9, 32, and 30a,b, respectively. Subsequent oxidation of these alkyl io dides has been investigated to develop a new synthetic route for bridg ehead olefins (i.e., 33) of medium-sized carbocycles.
