A general procedure for the synthesis of diverse cyclopentanols via free-radical cyclization of unsaturated 1,3-oxathiolanes and 1,3-oxathiolan-5-ones is described.The scope of these reactions, including preliminary rate studies that indicate that the 1,3-oxathiolan-5-ones cyclize at a useful rate (1.4*106 M-1s-1 at 80 deg C), has been examined.This permits the rapid assembly, by intramolecular annulation, of various additional ring systems, including bicyclooctanols, bicyclononanols, and bicyclooctanols for use in total synthesis. Key words: radical cyclization, oxathiolanes, oxathiolanones.
