Abstract
Radical cascade cyclizations of unsaturated epoxynitriles induced by titanocene chloride proceed in good yields and with excellent diastereoselectivities. From three to seven stereocenters were created by the reaction and a single isomeric product was obtained from most of the substrates examined. The relative configuration of the products is consistent with cyclization occurring via a chair-like transition state. The termination of the radical cascade reaction by 4-exo, 5-exo or 6-exo cyclization onto nitrile is remarkable.
Key words

Reaction of Epoxides with Cp 2 TiCl: A mixture of Cp2TiCl2 (3.3 mmol) and Zn (6.60 mmol) in strictly deoxy-genated THF (4 mL) was stirred at r.t. until the red solution turned green. In a separate flask, the epoxy compound (1 mmol) was dissolved in strictly deoxygenated THF (10 mL). The green Ti(III) solution was slowly added via cannula to the epoxide solution. After 30 min, an excess of sat. NaH2PO3 was added, and the mixture was stirred for 20 min. The product was extracted into Et2O and washed with sat. NaHCO3, and brine, dried (Na2SO4), and filtered. After removal of the solvent, the crude product was purified by flash chromatography.
