microwave irradiation. Trapping of the resulting cyclic radicals results in C–C, C–N, C–O, C–
S, or C–X bond formation. Allylic sulfides undergo a tandem cyclization–thiyl radical β-
elimination, affording terminal alkenes. The cyclizations exhibit a broad scope, and in some
cases they are highly diastereoselective. The pyrroline adducts are versatile intermediates
that can be transformed into a range of different species.
