Abstract

Radical multicyclizations on polyunsaturated chains have been distinctively useful for the construction of polycyclic molecules. 1-3 Several elaborate polycyclizations to triquinane and triterpene skeletons1 and the attempt by Curran and co-workers to build the steroid framework via a formidable tandem radical macrocyclization/cascade radical cyclizations strategy4 underscore the advances made in this field in recent years. In most examples of ...
