Syntheses of (+/-)-alpha-isokainic acid and (+/-)-alpha-dihydroallokainic acid using a decarboxylative Ramberg-Backlund reaction

Total syntheses of (±)-α-isokainic acid and (±)-α-dihydroallokainic acid have been achieved via tandem radical addition-homoallylic rearrangement and a decarboxylative Ramberg-Bäcklund reaction as the key steps.
