Abstract
A complete change of the traditional Ugi adducts framework has been obtained using new radical cascades as Ugi post-condensation reactions. Indanes and δ-amidomalonates were thus obtained in a one-pot procedure from aromatic aldehydes under a sequence involving Ugi addition followed by treatment of the adducts with Mn(III) and malonate or β-ketoester. The radical step probably involves an intramolecular aryl transfer followed by an oxidative cleavage and final cyclization to indanes.
