Abstract

Tributyltin hydride-mediated cyclisation of dehydroalanines produces an intermediate captodative radical, which can be trapped by reaction with oxygen- or carbon-centred radicals or (principally) electron-poor alkenes, to provide a quick approach to a variety of alpha-substituted pyroglutamates.
