By careful exclusion of oxygen, carbon radicals, generated from the W lamp photolysis of O-acyl derivatives of N-hydroxy-2-thiopyridone, can be added efficiently to methylvinyl ketone.Extension to the radical from pent-4-enoic acid provides another synthesis of cyclopentane derivatives.Analogous additions with other electrophilic olefins are also reported.
