Reductive cyclisation of the 2-sulfonyl-5-hexenyl radical with tributyltin hydride in benzene at 80Β°C affords a 73:23 mixture of the sulfones derived from 5-exo-and 6-endo-ring closure with a small quantity (4%) of reduced material; under identical conditions, the 2-thia-5-hexenyl radical gives a 70

β¦ Synopsis
The 2-azonia-2,2,5-trimethyl-5-hexenyl radical 9, derived from treatment of 1-iodo-2,2,5-trimethyl-2-azonia-5-hexenyl iodide 12 with tributyltin hydride, is found to give an 8:3:1 mixture of the isomeric 5-exo, 6-endo and acyclic ammonium salts. A rationale for the observed regioselectivity is proposed, and a comparison is made with the behaviour of the corresponding all-carbon radical.
