Abstract
The ring-opening of cis- and trans-2-methyl-cyclopropylalkyl radicals to give secondary and primary alkyl radicals respectively is not dependent on the presense of an OH or OSnR3 substituent at the reaction centre, and any interpretation of this effect in terms of the polar nature of these groups is insufficient.Keywords
