Abstract
AbstractA thiophenol‐mediated method for cyclization of alkynes is described. The reaction cascade involves the intermolecular addition of a phenylthiyl radical to a terminal triple bond generating an alkenyl radical, followed by a 1,5‐hydrogen atom transfer and a 5‐exo‐trig radical cyclization. This very efficient tin‐free procedure allows one to prepare highly functionalized cyclopentane derivatives as well as fused bicyclic and spirocyclic compounds from easily available precursors. During this cyclization process, a phenylthio moiety is incorporated into the final cyclized products. This functionalization is particularly attractive for further transformation of the products.
