Radical Cyclizations in Total Synthesis
Gomberg, M. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1900, 22, 757.
! A little history
! 1900: Moses Gomberg
trivalent carbon (discovery predated electronic theory)
"Ph3C" rather than "Ph3C•"
! 1929: Paneth and Hofeditz
Pb(CH3)4 Pb 4CH3•! in rapid current of H2

Paneth, F.; Hofeditz, W. Chem. Ber. 1929, 62, 1335.

! A change in the synthetic community's outlook on carbon radicals
! dimerization at diffusion rates! disproportionation! polymerization! extremely reactive
"Unruly & Uncontrollable"
! extremely reactive! neutral species, good for crowded bonds! inert to OH and NH! no !-elimination of OR, NR, etc.! ground state of structures good T.S. models! easy racemic synthesis of radical precursor
"Mild, Neutral and Selective"
Functional Group Transformations
Synthetic Radical Chemistry
! Kolbe oxidation! Hoffman-Loffler-Freytag! Meerwein arylation! NBS bromination! Kharasch reaction! Tin Hydride
! Giese reactions: Intermolecular Additions! Barton's thiohydroxamates: Carbon Radicals! Hart's pyrrolizidine synthesis! Stork's regio- and stereoselective syntheses! Curran's tandem syntheses
then in the 1980s.......
-
Radical Cyclizations in Total Synthesis
! Goal: General overview of major methods from the 1980s boom
Cyclizations organized by method of radical generation:
The Tin Hydride Method
The Fragmentation Method
The Reduction Method
The Oxidation Method
Showcase power of these methods with examples from today

! Beckwith's rules
Jasperse, C. P.; Curran, D. P.; Fevig, T. L. Chem. Rev. 1991, 91, 1237-1286.
! Cyclizations containing five linking carbons or less prefers exo-mode
! Radicals add to least substituted carbon of olefin if no other geometric constraints
! Bond undergoing homolytic cleavage must lie close to the plane of the radical
! 5-Hexenyl radical ring closures are stereoselective:
1
2
34
56
2-, 4- substituted systems give trans
2-,3-, or 4- substitued systems reflects conformation preference of chair T.S.

Radical Cyclizations in Total Synthesis
! So what is "radical" now?
! Total syntheses with radical cyclizations method in the last year:
! No photoredox radical cyclization in total synthesis yet
! Radical cyclization still primarily for carbon-carbon bond formations
! Many use fragmentation method - for functional handle after
! Total syntheses with tandem radical cyclization in the last year:
Tin Reagent: 8 reported Reduction: 6 reported Oxidation: 6 reported
Tandem: 5
