Abstract

Access to multifunctional hydrazones of relevance to dysiherbaine synthesis studies is described. Subsequent radical cyclizations of multifunctional hydrazones via a Si- and C-linked tethering strategy are shown to function effectively in 6- exo fashion. Conformational constraints are proposed to play a key role in suppressing unproductive premature reduction pathways. The stereochemical outcomes suggest that minimizing the dipole repulsion between neighboring C N and C–O bonds favors a C α–C( N) dihedral angle placing the C N bond axial within a chairlike transition state, in contrast to the usual Beckwith–Houk model. [Display omitted] Radical 6- exo cyclizations of imino compounds leading to aminosugar building blocks exhibit anomalous diastereoselectivity, attributable to dipole repulsion from an α-alkoxy substituent.
