The title compounds 1a-e readily undergo deprotonation and subsequent reactions with the appropriate electrophiles to form intermediates of types 4 and 7 which, upon treatment with Lewis acids, cyclize to afford fused aromatics 5 and 8. Tetrahydronaphthalene 11a, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydrochromanes (11b-d, 13), indanes (16, 18), 9,10-dihydrophenanthrenes (21a-c, 25), and tetrahydro[1,2-α]indoles (28, 30) with phenyl, substituted phenyl, and thienyl substituents were prepared in this manner.

Addition of excess hydrogen peroxide (10 equiv) to a sonicated solution of FeSO4:7H2O (1 equiv) in DMSO containing the N-(ω-iodoalkyl)indoles 4, 5, 11, and 13 effected oxidative radical cyclization to 6, 7, 14, and 15, respectively. The (ω-iodoalkyl)pyrroles 21, 22, 27, 38, and 49 underwent analogous cyclization reactions to 23, 24, 28, 39, and 50, respectively. The regiochemistry of these radical cyclization reactions was correctly predicted by FMO calculations in all cases but one. For compound 38, FMO calculations indicated that radical attack should take place at both C-3 and C-5. Only the product of cyclization at C-5, i.e., 39, was observed. The enantiomerically pure bicyclic ketone 42, prepared by the above technique from the iodide 53, was converted into 55 which, on catalytic reduction (H2/Rh-Al2O3), gave a mixture of (-)-monomorine (40) and three of its diastereomers 56-58.
