Bromo γ-oxygenated-α,β-unsaturated sulfones 1 and 2 underwent efficient 5- and 6-exo radical cyclizations, respectively, by reaction with Bu3SnH/AIBN without using slow addition techniques. The presence of a double bond joined to the oxygen, such as the OCH=CH-CO2Me moiety of substrates 5 and 6, allowed the preparation of [3.3.0] and [4.3.0] bicyclic compounds according to a tandem sequence based on two consecutive radical cyclizations.
