With the goal of accessing yet unknown SF 5 -cyclopropyl building blocks, the radical addition of SF 5 Cl to cyclopropenes was investigated. Addition of the SF 5 radical occurs regioselectively at the less substituted carbon of cyclopropenes and rans o the most hindered substituent at C3, while chlorine atom transfer proceeds with moderate to high levels of diastereocontrol. The carbon-chlorine bond in the resulting adducts can undergo subsequent radical reduction or be involved in a radical cyclization.
