title: Carbocyclization by radical closure onto O-trityl oximes: dramatic effect of diphenyl diselenide.
abstract: O-Trityl oximes of 5- and 6-iodoaldehydes undergo radical cyclization to produce oximes when treated in refluxing tetrahydrofuran (THF) with Bu3SnH, 1,1'-azobis(cyclohexanecarbonitrile), i-Pr2NEt, and diphenyl diselenide (PhSeSePh).
