  • Diversity-oriented synthesis is a valuable strategy to construct complex molecules of medicinal interest. Here, the authors show a folding cascade strategy to convert linear substrates into polycyclic compounds with multiple stereocentres by combining the reductive chemistry of SmI2 with 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer.

  • This Review considers cascade reactions initiated by single electron transfer. Open-shell intermediates are highly reactive but undergo reactions with high selectivity. They are thus ideal intermediates in cascade reactions that generate complex, high-value products from simple starting materials

  • Although samarium-mediated cyclizations have the potential to generate significant molecular complexity, historically it has not proven possible to exert enantiocontrol through the use of a chiral ligand in complex product synthesis. Now, an enantioselective SmI2-mediated radical cyclization has been developed using a chiral aminodiol ligand. Desymmetrizing 5-exo ketyl-alkene cyclizations and cyclization cascades of unsaturated ketoesters deliver complex products and typically proceed with high enantioselectivity and diastereoselectivity.
