Cyclisation of dienes using phosphorus-centred radicals to form organophosphorus adducts

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Reaction of various dienes with phosphites or related phosphorus hydrides, under free radical cyclisation conditions, affords cyclic organophosphorus adducts. This quick, mild and technically clean approach affords 5- and 6-ring carbocycles and heterocycles in good to excellent yield. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
