Radical cascades using enantioenriched 7-azabenzonorbornenes and their applications in synthesis.

Tandem deoxygenation-neophyl-type radical rearrangement-electrophile trapping using xanthates from 7-azabenzonorbornadienes gives 3-exo-substituted 2-aza-5,6-benzonorbornenes, which in some cases undergo isomerisation to (aminomethyl)indenes. The starting xanthates are accessible in good yields and...
