Novel intramolecular (4 + 1) and (4 + 2) annulations of halopolyenes by cascade radical reaction

Free radical reaction of vinyl iodides having dinenoate function in the presence of tributyltin hydride or tris(trimethylsilyl)silane caused a sequential cyclization reaction to produce (4 + 1) and (4 + 2) annulated compounds by means of a cascade radical reaction. Stereogenic centers of the cascade reaction were highly controlled. On the contrary, the cathodic electrolysis of the vinyl iodides afforded monocyclic compounds.     

H2 formation in the reaction of O(1D) with CH4

The reaction of O(¹D) with CH₄ was studied to determine the efficiency of H₂ production in a direct process, and it was found to be 0.11 ± 0.02. Thus the two channels which account for all of the reaction between O(¹D) and CH₄ in the gas phase are
