title: Exo-dig radical cascades of skipped enediynes: building a naphthalene moiety within a polycyclic framework.
abstract: Cascade radical transformations of acyclic precursors open efficient, convenient and atom-economical access to functionalized compounds of increased structural complexity. This report describes a selective sequence of 5-exo-dig and 6-exo-dig cyclizations followed by attack at a pendant aromatic moiety and rearomatization.
