Silicon-tethered radical cyclization and intramolecular Diels–Alder strategies are combined to provide a ready route to highly functionalized decalins

Abstract
Stereoselective addition of carbon branches at C(1) and C(2) of L-rhamnal is achieved via silicon-mediated radical procedures, and the product is readily processed to give a hex-2-enopyranosid-4-ulose whose intramolecular Diels–Alder reaction has been examined.
