A Novel Method of Annulation through α,β-Epoxy Sulfoxides with the Aid of Intramolecular Radical Cyclization

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1987.1949

A novel method of annulation was realized from ketones through α,β-epoxy sulfoxides with the aid of endo-type intramolecular radical cyclization.In these reactions 1-chloroalkyl phenyl sulfoxides having phenylseleno group on an end of the alkyl group acted as synthons of the annulation.
