Abstract
A microwave-promoted iminyl radical cascade cyclization that furnishes semisaturated polycycles is reported. Competitive reduction was suppressed by lowering the reaction concentration. The protocol is simple and tolerates a wide range of O -aryloxime substrates, with those bearing an electron-withdrawing group on the participating aryl ring performing the best. The modular substrate synthesis renders the process useful for constructing compound libraries.
