Ti(III)-mediated radical cyclization of β-aminoacrylate containing epoxy alcohol moieties: synthesis of highly substituted azacycles

Ti(III)-mediated radical cyclization of β-aminoacrylate containing 2,3-epoxy alcohol moieties led to the formation of highly substituted piperidine and pyrrolidine rings. The pyrrolidine ring system was then transformed into an indolizidine framework present in many natural products.
