The extent and the regioselectivity of the intramolecular 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer in glycopyranosidic radicals have been studied by deuteration experiments with n-Bu3SnD. Exclusive translocation of the primary cyclized radical 4 to the C(5)-center (in 6) has been observed. Conformational effects are, most probably, governing the ease of the intramolecular hydrogen atom transfer.
