Highly Functionalized and Potent Antiviral Cyclopentane Derivatives Formed by a Tandem Process Consisting of Organometallic, Transition-Metal-Catalyzed, and Radical Reaction Steps
A simple modular tandem approach to multiply substituted cyclopentanederivatives is reported, which succeeds by joining organometallic addition, conjugateaddition, radical cyclization, and oxygenation steps. The key steps enabling this tandem process are the thus far rarely used isomerization of allylic alkoxides to enolates and single‐electron transfer to merge the organometallic step with the radical
