Abstract

Abstract: Intramolecular free-radical addition to olefins substituted with electron-withdrawing groups has been studied. The free radicals are generated from the corresponding iodides by reaction with tributyltin hydride or tributyltin chloride/sodium cyanoborohydride. Macrocyclic compounds of 12-20 members are generated by this procedure in good yield, while endocyclization is favored, exocyclization can be forced if 1, l-dicyanesubstituted olefins ...
