When 5-exo/6-endo type of vinyl radical cyclization onto aldimine N=C bond
was examined using tin hydride mediated radical reaction conditions, select
ive 6-endo cyclization took place to lead to 3-methylenepiperidines. On the
other hand, vinyl radical cyclization onto ketimine N=C bond did not take
place. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
