Mn(III)-based oxidative tandem free-radical cyclizations of methylenecyclopropanes with substituted dicarbonyl compounds

Manganese(III) acetate-mediated tandem radical cyclization reactions of methylenecyclopropanes with methyl substituted dicarbonyl compounds in acetic acid give dihydronaphthalene derivatives in moderate yields under mild conditions.
