Abstract
Radical chain reactions are not often used in synthetic chemistry, although in fact such reactions can give good yields and show a selectivity that complements perfectly the ionic reactions that are in more general use. The design of radical chain reactions is discussed as well as a new method for obtaining carbon radicals in good yields under mild conditions.Keywords
