摘要
A novel synthetic protocol for the synthesis of [1,2-b]-fused bicyclic pyrazoles has been developed using radical cyclisation. The protocol uses cyclisation of pyrazole-1-(omega-alkyl) radicals generated from 1-[omega-(phenylselenyl)alkyl]-pyrazole precursors. The pyrazole natural product, withasomnine (3-phenyl-5,6-dihydro-4H-pyrrolo[1,2-b]pyrazole), and larger ring analogues have been synthesised in good yield using the protocol. A Bu3SnH-mediated oxidative cyclisation mechanism is facilitated by azo or Et3B radical initiators acting as oxidants of the intermediate pi-radicals. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.
