Abstract

Radical cyclisation of various unsaturated halides using dimanganese decarbonyf/hv has been explored. Substituted pyrrolidinones and a pyrrolidine were isolated in good to excellent yield; the radical produced on cyclisation can undergo iodine or hydrogen atom transfer, or reaction with TEMPO.
