Efficient, “Tin-Free” Radical Cyclization to Aromatic Systems. Synthesis of 5,6,8,9,10,11- Hexahydroindolo[2,1-a]isoquinolines

Efficient radical cyclization of alkyl iodides to various aromatic systems including pyrrole, indole, isoquinolone, pyridone, and benzene, mediated by dicumyl peroxide, is described. The methodology was used to provide access to 5,6,8,9,10,11-hexahydroindolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline derivatives.
