Abstract
Reactions that form rings are the central steps in the synthesis of cyclic organic compounds, and the development of cyclization reactions that are mild and general has been a recurring theme since the emergence of organic synthesis as a discipline. Although they have been recognized only recently, intramolecular addition reactions of radicals (hereafter called cyclizations) are among the most powerful tools at the disposal of the synthetic chemist. These radical cyclization reactions have all the advantages of their bimolecular counterparts, such as predictability and functional group tolerance; furthermore, because of the entropic advantages, cyclization reactions are of much broader scope.
