The radical cyclisations were conducted using tributyltin hydride/AIBN in refluxing benzene. The α-acylamino radicals added to double bonds which were activated by an ethoxycarbonyl substituent. No reduction of the radicals by the tributyltin hydride was observed. Those radicals incorporating an isopropylidene ketal at the 4 and 5 positions as chiral auxiliary showed excellent regio- and stereoselectivity. Out of a possible 4 diastereomers, only two were obtained in a 2:8 ratio. It was established that the isopropylidene ketal directed the cyclisation stereoselectively and that no stereoselectivity was observed in the absence of the chiral auxiliary. 2016-01-02T04:52:10Z 2016-01-02T04:52:10Z 1996 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/16138 eng application/pdf Department of Chemistry Faculty of Science University of Cape Town
