The stereoselective formation of cyanohydrin 4 was achieved by radical cyclization-oxygen trapping reaction of 5 into an intramolecular acrylic nitrile moiety. The cyanohydrin was used for ring closure reaction with a tosylate, providing the bicyclic systems 1 and 2 with a trans ring fusion.
Et2SBr.SbCl5Br: An effective reagent for direct bromonium-induced polyene cyclizations
Snyder, Scott A.,Treitler, Daniel S.
supporting information; experimental part, p. 7899 - 7903 (2010/04/02)
It's all about reactivity: Although bromonium-induced cation-π cyclizations are commonly utilized by nature to fashion six-membered rings from a diverse set of polyene precursors, no general laboratory method exists that can achieve the same breadth of substrate scope. An easily synthesized and handled reagent is described (see scheme) that is capable of directly, broadly, and rapidly effecting such reactions in good yield with a variety of geraniol, farnesol, and nerol derivatives.
A Convenient Synthesis of A-Ring-Functionalized Podolactones. Revision of the Structure of Wentilactone B

(Matrix Presented) A new route to podolactones functionalized in the A ring has been achieved. Two key steps were employed in this synthesis, the construction of the bicyclic skeleton via a Mn(III)-mediated radical cyclization and the transformation of this bicyclic intermediate into the tetracyclic podolactone skeleton through a Pd (II)-mediated bislactonization of the corresponding conjugate diene. The reported synthesis of 3β-hydroxy-13,14,15,-16-tetranorlabda-7,9(11)-dien-(19,6β),(12,17)- diolide (1) let us reassign the structure of wentilactone B, for which structure 1 was wrongly reported.
