6-Heptenoic acid radical decarboxylation

Hexenyl radicals cyclize to cyclopentylmethyl radicals (see Volume 4, Chapter 4.2). Thus radical decarboxylation of 6-heptenoic acids, by whatever means, usually results in die formation of five-mem-v beied rings. Although this fact had been appreciated previously it is only recendy, widi the advent of the 0-acyl thiohydroxamates, that it has been exploited from a syndietic point of view. An example is provided by the synthesis of bicyclo[4.3.0]proline derivatives from aspartic acid carried out by the Barton group (equation 51). It will be noted that activation of die C—C double bond acting as a radical trap is not necessary in these intramolecular reactions.
