[GRAPHICS]
A diastereoselective method for addition of a vinyl group to cc-hydroxy hyd
razones under neutral tin-free radical cyclization conditions, leading to s
ubstituted vinylglycinols, is presented. Tandem thiyl radical addition/cycl
ization upon a silicon-tethered vinyl group followed by treatment with pota
ssium fluoride accomplishes a one pot neutral vinyl addition process to aff
ord acyclic allylic anti-hydrazino alcohols in good yield.
