A summary of the tin hydride method of generating radicals in organic synthesis is presented, followed by illustrative examples of other methods available for mediating radical reactions, with a particular emphasis on recent developments. This is followed by four chapters describing our efforts to introduce alternative methods for generating radicals. A range of l-alkylcyclohexa-2,5-diene-l-carboxylic acids have been prepared by Birch reduction-alkylation methodology and shown to generate the corresponding alkyl radical by thermal initiation with dibenzoyl peroxide. The 1-benzyl, cyclopentyl and t-butyl precursors (17,15, and 16 respectively), acted as sources of radicals which were trapped with cyclohexenone to give the corresponding 3-alk...
