Abstract

Attempts to prepare several classes of aza-heterocycles by application of the Minisci radical cyclisation reaction are described. Competing β-scission, hydrolytic cleavage and lactonisation reactions were found to be major hurdles to adopting this strategy for the synthesis of such targets.
