The naturally occurring sesquiterpene (±)-cuparene [1,1,2-trimethyl-2-(4-methylphenyl)cyclopentane], which contains two contiguous quaternary centers, is produced in good yield by 5-exo-trig cyclization of the 5-hexenyllithium (2) generated from 6-iodo-3,3-dimethyl-2-(4-methylphenyl)-1-hexene (3) by low temperature lithium - iodine exchange. In contrast, radical mediated cyclization of 3 proceeds via
天然存在的倍半萜烯(±)-Cuparene [1,1,2-三甲基-2-(4-甲基苯基)环戊烷]包含两个连续的季铵盐中心,可通过5个化合物的5-exo-trig环化反应以高收率生产-hexenyllithium(2)从6-碘-3,3-二甲基-2-(4-甲基苯基)-1产生的己烯(3)通过低温锂-碘交换。相反,自由基介导的3的环化反应是通过6-内酯模式进行的,得到1,1-二甲基-2-(4-甲基苯基)环己烷。
