1,4-Pentadienyl-3-sulfonamides afford products including those resulting fr
om disfavored 5-endo-trig reactions when subjected to radical cyclization c
onditions. Products resulting from pathways featuring 4-exo-trig cyclizatio
ns are also detected, even when the 4-exo-trig reaction leads to a highly s
trained bicyclo[3.2.0] ring system.
