14. In the literature we have found only two examples: an old radical cyclization onto ester. Nikishin G.I., Starostin E.K., Golovin B.A., Kessevich A.V., and Iguatenko A.V. Izvest. Akad. Nauk. SSSR Ser. Khim. (1971) 1842 and a new one onto lactone

16. The new compounds were prepared by standard procedures from readily available starting materials. The syntheses will be reported elsewhere.
17. The structures of all new compounds were supported by spectral data. See Supplementary data.

24. Only two diastereomers 12a and 12b were obtained in a 6:4 ratio, respectively. Their structures were confirmed by oxidation to the corresponding ketolactones. The same was done for hemiketals: 3b, 4a, 4b, and 5a. See Supplementary data.
