through 5-hexenyl or 6-heptenyl radical cyclization. Both 5-hexenyl and 6-heptenyl radical cyclized exclusively in the exo form, giving unwanted exocyclic C7-methyl group. In the present study, we showed that the regioselectivity of the 5-hexenyl radical cyclization could be favorably tuned by introduction of a hydroxyl group to the olefinic double bond, yielding about 9% of the 6-endo cyclization product
