Diastereoselective synthesis of 1,2- O-isopropylidene-1,6-dioxaspiro[4,4]nonane applying the methodology of generation of radical cations under non-oxidizing conditions

Abstract

We report the stereoselective synthesis of an optically pure spiroketal via an intramolecular tandem hydrogen abstraction reaction promoted by an alkoxy radical. Expanding the use of alkene radical cation under non-oxidizing conditions in the synthetic scenario.
