Tin radical mediated [5+1]-annulation methodsleading to 3-substituted cyclohexanones were investigated. Cyclohexanones having a quaternary center at the 3-position were synthesized in good yields by allyltin-mediated three- and four-component cascade reactions that involve (i) radical carbonylation, (ii) 6-endo cyclization, and (iii) alkene addition.

Unsaturated and doubly unsaturated esters have been synthesized in two steps by the application of a radical xanthate transfer process of a simple methylsulfoxide starting material to a range of terminal alkenes. syn-Elimination of the sulfoxide gives alpha,beta-unsaturated esters, which coupled with a xanthate elimination yields alpha,beta,gamma,delta-unsaturated esters.

Samarium(II) iodide (SmI2) has been successfully employed as a reductive coupling agent for the intramolecular Barbier-type synthesis of bicyclo[m.n.1]alkan-1-ols. Thus, a variety of 3-(omega-iodoalkyl)cycloalkanones, upon treatment with SmI2 and a catalytic quantity of iron complex in tetrahydrofuran (THF), provide the title compounds in excellent yields. The reaction is quite general for the construction of diverse bicyclic ring systems, including the highly strained bicyclo[2.1.1]hexan-1-ol. In addition to exploring the synthetic utility of this reaction, studies have been performed which provide insight on the mechanistic details of the SmI2-promoted intramolecular Barbier-type synthesis. Compelling evidence for the intermediacy of organosamarium species has thus been gathered.
