Radical reactions became during the last decade a very useful tool in organic synthesis. Spectacular progress has been made in the control of the stereoselectivity of these reactions. This contribution presents our recent results with 1- and 2-heteroatom substituted radicals in cyclic and acyclic systems. Several examples dealing with the use of Lewis acids to achieve high stereochemical control are presented.
