Dlj. Clive et R. Subedi, Radical cyclization of O-trityl oximino esters: a ring closure that preserves the oxime function, CHEM COMMUN, (3), 2000, pp. 237-238
O-Trityl oximino esters 1 undergo stannane-induced radical cyclization to r
egenerate an oxime function, affording oximino lactones 4; these can be con
verted into enamides (e.g. 11b), and such a transformation was used to make
the natural product 14c.
