Recent developments in cyclization reactions of alpha-aminoalkyl radicals

The intramolecular additions of C-centered neutral alpha-aminoalkyl radicals onto suitably positioned C-C double bonds provide a ready access into functionalized carbocycles and heterocycles. This strategy offers considerable versatility in the selection of starting materials since a number of methods using different functional groups and reagents are available for Phi-aminoalkyl radical generation. This review covers the recent progress in this field.
