✦ Synopsis
Addition of radicals to unsymetrically substituted double bonds can in principle either
lead to the thermodynamically more stable products ("Markownikow route", M) or the less stable products ("anti-Markownikow route",A).

## Abstract Small ω‐alkenyl radicals are known to cyclize exclusively __via__ the unexpected __Anti‐Markownikow__ pathway which leads to cycloalkyl‐methyl radicals as the observed reaction products. The strong kinetic preference diminishes, as the linking methylene chain becomes larger. Semiempiric
Alkenyl and alkynyl isocyanides were synthesised and then reacted, using microwave flash-heating technology, with thiophenol, 2-mercaptoethanol and ethanethiol, in the presence of a radical initiator, to give highly functionalised pyrrolines and pyroglutamates. Direct comparison with results obtaine
The vinyl radicals 2a, 2b, and 11 each undergo fast exe ring closure to give 5a, 5b, and 12, the first two of which readily rearrange to ring-expanded radicals.
