Various enone-aldehydes were exposed to t-dodecanethiol and AIBN at 75 °C in toluene to afford spirocyclic 1,4-diketones in moderate to good yields.SubjectsSPIRO compounds synthesis; SULFHYDRYL group; ACYL radicals; RING formation (Chemistry); KETONES; ALDEHYDE derivativesPublicationEuropean Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2016, Vol 2016, Issue 3, p589ISSN1434-193XPublication typeArticleDOI10.1002/ejoc.201501305
