Tandem radical cyclizations of acyclic iodides, including [3-(2-iodoethyl)-6,10-dimethyl-undeca-5,9-dien-1-ynyl]-dimethylphenylsilane lead in good yields to bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane derivatives. The cascade relies on two sequential radical-mediated 5-exo-cyclizations. The radical approach is illustrated with the total synthesis of racemic-(Z)-β-santalol. The results are remarkable, two fused rings and one stereogenic center are formed in a single operation. A new 'coordinated' hydride appeared to be useful in the cascade.
Stereoselective Syntheses of (+/-)-epi-β-Santalene and (+/-)-epi-β-Santalol

Stereoselective syntheses of (+/-)-epi-β-santalene (1) and (+/-)-epi-β-santalol (2), minor constituents of East Indian sandalwood oil, are described.The starting material for both syntheses is the tricyclic hemiacetal 4, readily accessible in two steps from norbornene.
