Acyclic 1,2-Induction in Radical Reactions: The Importance of Allylic Strain Effects

Abstract
The stereoselectivity of hydrogen abstraction by ester-substituted radical 1 [XCH(R2)C????-(R1)CO2R] is explained by allylic strain effects. The ratio of threo:erythro products 2:3 depends upon the size of substituents X and R2.
