[reaction: see text] A stereoselective synthesis of (-)-ilimaquinone (4) is presented. The synthetic strategy is based on a novel radical decarboxylation and quinone addition methodology that produces quinone 7 from reaction of thiohydroxamic acid derivat

White phosphorus in tetrahydrofuran under argon reacts in a long radical chain reaction with carbon radicals derived from Barton PTOC esters. The reaction is initiated by traces of oxygen and strongly inhibited by TEMPO. From the duration of the induction period the chain length can be measured as approximately one million. Each P4 molecule can add up to two carbon radicals. Oxidation of the adducts provides a convenient synthesis of phosphonic acids in high yield. With H2O2 at 0°C oxidation to the appropriate phosphinic acids is fast. For sensitive natural products the further transformation to phosphonic acids is best carried out at room temperature with an excess of SO2. In this way even linoleic acid can be convened to the corresponding phosphonic acid in good yield without any attack on the skipped diene unit. TEMPO is also remarkable for its stabilization of white phosphorus in solution when exposed to oxygen. Likewise an ordinary phosphine, like tributyl phosphine, is also stabilized by small amounts of TEMPO.

A new and convenient synthesis of dialkyl diselenides from carboxylic acids by Barton PTOC ester based radical chemistry is described. This method was especially successful when O-cholestan-3β-yl-2,2,2-trichloroselenoacetate and O-neopentyl selenobenzoate
