(Dichloromethyl)dimethylchlorosilane has been used as the hydroxymethylidene diradical as well as the formyl radical equivalents for allyl alcohol derivatives via hydrostannane or allylstannane mediated radical cyclization followed by oxidative cleavage of the carbon-silicon bonds. The new radical annulation method has been applied to the stereo-controlled construction of cis- and trans-hydrindan skeletons.
