Abstract

The tributyltin hydride mediated radical cyclisation of N-(alpha-chloroacetamido)dehydroalanine derivatives prepared from serine proceeds regioselectively to give pyroglutamates in 47-74% yield-the cyclisation of the intermediate carbamoylmethyl radical proceeds in a 'disfavoured' 5-endo-trig manner.
