Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo00057a036

Cyclization of the 6,6-diphenyl-5-hexenyl radical (1) to the diphenylcyclopentylcarbinyl radical (2) was studied by indirect and direct methods.Indirect kinetic studies were accomplished by the PTOC-thiol method using hydrogen atom transfer trapping from
