An efficient and scalable total synthesis of (-)-triptonide is achieved using a metal-catalyzed hydrogen atom transfer (MHAT) initiated radical cyclization. Blue LEDs are found to significantly enhance the efficiency of the Co(TPP)-catalyzed MHAT-initiated reaction during the optimization of the key step. Further exploration and optimization of this catalytic system lead to the development of a dehydrogenative MHAT-initiated Giese reaction.
