Abstract

Construction of new ring systems: Oxidative cyclizations (see picture; RVC=reticulated vitreous carbon) have been conducted that use two separate intramolecular nucleophiles to trap an enol ether-derived radical cation intermediate. The reactions provide a means for rapidly trapping the radical cation intermediate in a manner that avoids competitive decomposition reactions.
