esters 26 and 27 as well as deuterated products 34 and 35 were isolated when the radicals 20 and 21 were trapped with Barton esters 17 and 18 or with PhSeSePh, methyl acrylate or Bu3SnD. In all cases the anti isomers were isolated as the major products in moderate to excellent selectivity. The stereochemical course of the radical reactions can be explained by the allylic strain model.
