(equation presented) The reaction of a series of 5-(N-phthalimidoxy)-1-phenyl-1-(diphenylphosphatoxy)pentanes with triphenyltin hydride and AIBN provides alkoxy radicals which undergo 1,5-hydrogen atom abstraction to give β-(phosphatoxy)alkyl radicals. These radicals then take part in a radical nucleophilic displacement leading, after chain transfer, to tetrahydrofurans.
