Abstract
AbstractRadical cyclization cascade reactions of epoxycyclohexanes possessing alkene and alkyne side chains have been achieved. Sequential 5‐ or 6‐exo‐trig/5‐exo‐dig reactions triggered by epoxide ring opening with Cp2TiCl were found to provide a useful unified synthetic method for generating the carbon skeletons of clovane and cedrane, two tricyclic sesquiterpenes. The factors responsible for the development of stereoselectivity during cyclization are also discussed.
