Abstract

Abstract Extremely high stereospecificity (up to 100% diastereoisomeric purity) can be obtained for the metallic salts radical cyclisation of the cis and trans 1-methyl 4-hexenyl N- choloroamines. A possible mechanism for the highly effective trans-addition using metal- complexed aminyl radical is proposed.
