5-Exo-trig radical reductivecyclization reactions of bromoacetals are catalyzed by iron in the presence of the reducing agent NaBH4. Both iron(II) and iron(III) were found to effectively mediate these reactions. As shown by cyclic voltammetry, iron(III) can be reduced to an iron(II) precatalyst before passing through an identical reaction mechanism in which monoelectronic activation of the substrate
