Tandem anionic Michael addition/radical cyclizations: a new and efficient strategy for the synthesis of functionalized cyclopentanes.
The combination of anionic Michael addition of lithium ester enolates with radical 5-exo cyclizations through SET oxidation gives highly functionalized cyclopentanes.
