title: Guidelines for radical reactions: some thirty years on.
abstract: In this viewpoint article we reflect on the state of play of organic free radical chemistry before the contributions of Beckwith et al. to our understanding of the factors that control intramolecular homolytic addition chemistry, and the rapid rise in the use of this chemistry once the impact of the "guidelines for radical reactions" became fully appreciated.
