R. Mccague et al., Practical radical cyclisations leading to the construction of near-stereopure quaternary carbon stereogenic centres, CHEM COMMUN, (24), 1998, pp. 2691-2692
The 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyl auxiliary is effective in
directing bromopropargyloxy additions to the olefinic bonds of vinylogous e
sters/carbonates; in the presence of AIBN and 1-ethylpiperidinium hypophosp
hite, the adducts undergo highly stereoselective reductive radical cyclisat
ions in which quaternary carbon stereogenic centres are generated.
