which is the preferred conformation for transition structures for 2,3-trans-cyclization, stabilizes the double bond by delocalizing π-electrons into the σ*(C,O)-orbital. Along with energy decreases the affinity of π-electrons for forming a σ (C,O)-bond with the oxygen radical. In 2,3-cis-cyclization, a similar stabilizing effect cannot occur, because the allylic oxygen substituent and the alkene align
Thiohydroxamic esters in general decompose smoothly by a radical chain reaction to give carbon radicals which can be quenched in a synthetically useful manner.

Annulated and bridged tetrahydrofurans from alkenoxyl radical cyclization
radicals sharing two or more carbon atoms with a cycloalkane cyclize in a predictable manner stereoselectively and regioselectively to afford in solutions of bromotrichloromethane cycloalkyl-fused or -bridged 2-bromomethyltetrahydrofurans in up to 95% yield. Stereoselectivity in alkenoxyl radical ring closures arises from cumulative steric effects. The substituent positioned the closest to the alkene carbon
Four diastereomers of 2-[(trimethylammonium)-methyl]-5-methyltetrahydrofuran-3-ol, trivially named isomuscarine, allo-isomuscarine, epi-isomuscarine, and epiallo-isomuscarine, were prepared as bromide salts from 2,4-like and 2,4-unlike diastereomers of 3-(4-hydroxyhex-5-en-2-oxy)-4-methylthiazole-2(3H)-thione. The strategy for constructing the tetrahydrofuran nucleus of the isomuscarines uses alkenoxyl radical 5-exo-bromocyclization, occurring 2,3-cis-selectively for the 2,4-like-4-hydroxyhex-5-en-2-oxyl radical, and 2,3-trans-selectively for the 2,4-unlike diastereomer. A fraction of 4hydroxyhex-5-en-2-oxyl radicals cyclizes 6-endo-selectively providing 5-bromo-2-methyltetrahydropyran-4-ols in yields between 3 and 15%. Substituting trimethylamine for bromide in 5-exo-bromocyclized products furnishes isomuscarine bromides, which were structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction and NMR-spectroscopy.

A new synthesis of (-)-muscarine, (+)-allo-muscarine, (-)-epi-muscarine, and (-)-epiallo-muscarine has been devised which utilizes selective alkoxyl radical cyclizations for constructing tri-substituted tetrahydrofuran units. Photolysis of (2R,3S)-N-(3-benzoyloxy-5-hexen-2-oxy)-4-methylthiazole-2(3H)thione in the presence of BrCCl3 provided (2R,3S,5S)-3-benzoyloxy-5-broniomethyl-2-methyltetrahydrofuran as the major product and the corresponding (2R,3S,5R)-isomer as the minor. These building blocks were converted into enantiomerically pure (+)-allo-muscarine (from the major alkoxyl radical cyclization product) and (-)-muscarine (from the minor product). Temperature and substituent effects on the diastereoselectivity of the underlying alkoxyl radical cyclization have been investigated. (-)-epi-Muscarine and (-)-epiallo-muscarine have been prepared likewise, starting from (2R.3R)-ev-(3-benzoyloxy-5-hexen-2-oxy)-4-metliylthiazole-2(3H)thione. (C) 2003 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
