The radical allylation of a series of α-iodo-β-alkoxy esters under bidentate chelation-controlled conditions is reported and compared with the analogous reactions under non-chelating conditions. The addition of MgBr2⋅OEt2 is shown to give excellent selectivity for the anti products, in some cases ratios greater than 100:1 are obtained. The reactions require initiation with Et3B and can be inhibited by m- and p-dinitrobenzene, implying a radical based mechanism. Iodides, bromides and phenyl selenides all are suitable substrates.
