Radical-mediated synthesis of 3,4-dihydroisocoumarins: total synthesis of hydrangenol
Mandal, Samir Kumar,Roy, Subhas Chandra
, p. 4131 - 4134 (2007)
A radically promoted synthesis of 3,4-dihydroisocoumarins has been achieved in moderate to good yields using titanocene(III) chloride (Cp2TiCl) as the radical initiator. The total synthesis of (±)-hydrangenol has been completed using this radical technology. Cp2TiCl was prepared in situ from commercially available titanocene dichloride (Cp2TiCl2) and Zn-dust in THF under argon.
Copper-Catalyzed Oxidative Cyclization of Carboxylic Acids

supporting information, p. 6308 - 6311 (2016/12/23)
A method for converting C-H to C-O bonds through oxidative cyclization of carboxylic acids to generate lactone products is described. The reaction employs catalytic amounts of Cu(OAc)2 and potassium persulfate as the terminal oxidant and is performed open to air in an aqueous acetic acid solvent system. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that substrate oxidation likely proceeds by sulfate radical anion and that the Cu catalyst has no influence on the product-determining step. These conclusions differ from related investigations that propose the intermediacy of a carboxylate radical.
Titanocene(III) chloride mediated radical-induced synthesis of 3,4-dihydroisocoumarins: synthesis of (±)-hydrangenol, (±)-phyllodulcin, (±)-macrophyllol and (±)-thunberginol G
Mandal, Samir Kumar,Roy, Subhas Chandra
experimental part, p. 11050 - 11057 (2009/04/11)
A radical-promoted synthesis of 3,4-dihydroisocoumarins has been achieved in moderate to good yields using titanocene(III) chloride (Cp2TiCl) as the radical initiator. The total synthesis of four naturally occurring dihydrocoumarins hydrangenol, phyllodulcin, macrophyllol and thunberginol G has been accomplished using the radical technology. Cp2TiCl was prepared in situ from commercially available titanocene dichloride (Cp2TiCl2) and Zn-dust in THF under argon.
