Tandem 5- Exo -dig-5- exo -trig Radical Cyclization leading to a 6,5-Ring Fused Carbobicycle possessing Two Contiguous Quaternary Carbons at the Bridgehead and its Adjacent Positions †
The tin-mediated tandem 5-exo-dig-5-exo-trig radical cyclization of dibromoacetal 4a stereoselectively gives the angular 6,5,5-ring fused tricycle 6via spirocyclic acetal 5 in 93% yield.

No attempt was made to determine the stereochemistry of the inseparable dibromoacetals and cyclization products.

The tandem radical cyclization of the homologous dibromoacetals derived from cycloheptanone gave three 5-exo-dig-5-exo-trig and two 5-exo-dig-6-(formal)-endo-trig cyclization products in moderate yield. The reaction of the dibromoacetals derived from cyclopentanone with Bun3SnH gave two 5-exo-dig-5-exo-trig and a 5-exo-dig-6-(formal)-endo-trig cyclization products.
