title: New Fe(III)-mediated radical cascade reactions of cyclopropyl silyl ethers.
abstract: [reaction: see text] Fe(III)-mediated ring opening of cyclopropyl ethers bearing a phenyl-substituted butenyl side chain leads to the generation of beta-keto radicals that undergo 5-exo cyclization followed by a novel cascade sequence resulting in the formation of tricyclic ethers.
