Abstract
We have developed an efficient free radical method for the synthesis of enantioenriched 6- and 7-membered lactones in one synthetic operation.
Key words
radical reactions - chiral Lewis acid - lactones - conjugate additions - enantioselective reactions

Note the change in priority for compound 5b. The radical reaction occurs from the same face for all compounds.
11This reaction proceeds with 39% ee when magnesium bromide is used as the Lewis acid. See ref. 5.
