7- exo-trig

Both the 5-exo-trig and 6-endo trip are favored reactions, with the 6 exo-trig mode producing the most stable radical. However, the 5-exo-trig is about 50 time faster...

Diastereoseleetive 6-exo-trig radieal eyelization of (-)-perhydro-l,3-benzoxazines 69, 71, 74 with Bu3SnH and AIBN gave a diastereomerie mixture of perhydropyrido[2,l-Z)][l,3]-benzoxazines 39, 70, and 72, 73, and 40, 75, respeetively (00TA2809). 

The diastereoselective intramolecular Michael addition of /(-substituted cyclohexcnoncs results in an attractive route to ra-octahydro-6//-indcn-6-ones. The stereogenic center in the -/-position of the enone dictates the face selectivity, whereas the trans selectivity at Cl, C7a is the result of an 6-exo-trig cyclization. c7.v-Octahydro-5//-inden-5-ones are formed as the sole product regardless of which base is used, e.g., potassium carbonate in ethanol or sodium hydride in THF, under thermodynamically controlled conditions139 14°. An application is found in the synthesis of gibberellic acid141. 

An analogous catalytic system has been applied to the IH of y- and 5-allenic amines which cyclize smoothly in the 5-Exo-Trig or 6-Exo-Trig mode, giving vinylpyrrolidines and vinylpiperidines, respectively (Eq. 4.92) [313]. 

Although less efficient (TOP = 0.04 h ), similar IH ofofy- and 5-allenic amines in the presence of AgNOj give 2-alkenylpyrrolidines and 2-alkenylpiperidines, respectively (5 [or 6]-Exo-Trig processes) [315]. These reactions have been applied to the synthesis of ( )-pinidine [316] and -) R) coniine [317]. 

The occurrence of the indole subunit is well established within the class of natural products and pharmaceutically active compounds. Recently, the Reissig group developed an impressive procedure for the assembly of highly functionalized in-dolizidine derivatives, highlighting again the versatility of domino reactions [8]. The approach is based on a samarium(II) iodide-mediated radical cydization terminated by a subsequent alkylation which can be carried out in an intermolecular - as well as in an intramolecular - fashion. Reaction of ketone 3-11 with samarium(ll) iodide induced a 6-exo-trig cydization, furnishing a samarium enolate intermediate... 

Michael addition to give the azaheterocycles 7-39 through a favorable 6-exo-trig ring closure (Scheme 7.13). Even highly sensible substrates such as aryl-allyl ethers and amines could be transformed to the desired products in excellent yields. 

A new approach to piperidines via cyclization of dienes, such as 158, employs a phosphorus hydride mediated radical addition/cyclization reaction <06JOC3656>. This reaction proceeds with complete regioselectivity to create the 6-exo-trig product 159, although as an inseparable mixture of two of the four possible diastereomers. 

Unfortunately, the scope of the process appears to be limited by the need to form a five-membered ring in the second ring closure event [64]. For example, reduction of 220 affords 221 and 222, each the result of a 5-exo-trig cyclization (Table 10). Apparently, the rate of 6-exo-trig cyclization of the putative... 

The synthesis of tacamonine, an indole alkaloid of the Iboga type, was accomplished in both racemic and homochiral forms, by incorporating a classical 6-exo-trig radical cyclization in the key step of the synthesis (Reaction 7.57) [52], The cyclization produced piperidinone in a 72% yield as a diaster-eomeric mixture. 

Each of the above cyclizations proceeds upon a 6-exo-trig mode process promoting the formation of six-membered rings as opposed to the more common five-membered ring formation. 

The addition of zinc enolates to alkenes in the intramolecular version finds several examples in recent literature. Thus, hydrazone 155, subjected to the same treatment reported for 151 (equation 80), undergoes diastereoselective 5-exo-trig (n = 1) or 6-exo-trig (n = 2) carbocyclization to yield -156, which on reaction with the electrophile E+ gives 157 (equation 81)174.
