Abstract

A Thiyl Radical Mediated Cascade Sequence for the Co-Cyclization of 1,6-Hexadienes with Sulfur Atom Transfer.-The reaction with concomitant sulfur transfer involves a cascade reaction with addition of a thiyl radical to an alkene, cyclization through a chair-like transition state and termination by homolytic substitution at sulfur. -(HARROWVEN, DAVID C.; HANNAM, JOANNE C.; LUCAS, MATTHEW C.; NEWMAN, NICOLA A.; HOWES, PETER D.; Tetrahedron Lett. 41 (2000) 48, 9345-9349; Dep.
