The isomerization of several unsaturated α-iodocarbonyls to cyclic γ-iodocarbonyls gave identical product mixtures by using catalytic quantities of either hexalkylditin or palladium(0).This indicates that palladium does not serve as a catalyst in an organometallic reaction, but as a promotor of a free radical chain involving atom transfer.In contrast, an allylic iodide showed no tendency to produce radical chain products when treated with Pd(0).
