Synthesis of bridgehead-substituted bicyclo[2.2.1]heptanes. Radical cyclization of an oxime ether and an α,β-unsaturated ester

Article abstract of DOI:10.1071/CH9941833

The synthesis of bicyclo[2.2.1]heptanes with useful functionality at each bridgehead is achieved by radical cyclization of appropriately substituted 4-methylene- and 4-benzyloxyiminocyclohexylmethyl radicals. The latter process, for example, leads to a br
