Radical-initiated, skeletal rearrangements of Bicyclo
Treatment of bicyclic lactones derived from Diels-Alder reactions of 3-carbomethoxy-2-pyrone under radical conditions leads to a series of interesting skeletal rearrangements. The stereochemical and optical integrity of the starting material are maintained throughout the process.
