title: Synthesis of (+)-juruenolide c: use of sequential 5-exo-digonal radical cyclization, 1,5-intramolecular hydrogen transfer, and 5-endo-trigonal cyclization.
abstract: Acetylenic alcohol 10 was converted successively into silane 11 and phenylseleno carbonate 14. On treatment with Ph3SnH, the latter underwent 5-exo-digonal radical cyclization, intramolecular hydrogen transfer, and 5-endo-trigonal cyclization, yielding 15. Conversion of the lactone into the lactol benzyl ether 17, carbon-silicon bond cleavage, and regeneration of the lactone carbonyl gave (+)-juruenolide C (1).
