Abstract

ABSTRACT: The steric effect of substituents at sp2 carbons on the cyclisation of ethylenic free radicals has been investigated. The isomeric 1-bromo 5-methyl 5-heptenes (4E and 4Z) have been prepared and reduced with tributyltin hydride. The steric effect of the terminal methyl group in the transition state leading to the six-membered ring is discussed.
