Abstract
Intramolecular anodic olefin coupling reactions can be compatible with the presence of dithioketal protecting groups even though the dithioketal oxidizes at a lower potential than either of the groups participating in the cyclization. In such cases, product formation is controlled by the Curtin-Hammett Principle. In this study, the generality of such reactions is examined along with the use of alternative reaction conditions to suppress unwanted side reactions.
