Deskripsi

Photocatalytic radical cascade reactions enable the facile construction of diverse cyclic compounds, though they rely on templated precursors. In this paper, the authors report on stereoselective intermolecular radical cascade reaction between tryptophan or ɤ-alkenyl substituted amino acids and acrylamides to synthesise multi-substituted trans-fused hexahydrocarbazoles or 1,3,5-trisubstituted cyclohexanes.
