Abstract

(Equation presented) Radical cyclization of N-allyl-7-bromo-3a-methyl- hexahydroindol-2-one affords a six-membered ring product that prevails over the isomeric five-membered compound. The former product is generated through two reaction pathways: (a) 6-endo-trig ring closure and (b) rearrangement of an intermediate methylenecyclopentyl radical obtained by 5-exo-trig cyclization.
