Question

In the presence of a radical initiator (Z•), tributyltin hydride (R3SnH, R = CH3CH2CH2CH2) reduces alkyl halides to alkanes: R′X + R3SnH → R′H + R3SnX. The mechanism consists of a radical chain process with an intermediate tin radical:

This reaction has been employed in many radical cyclization reactions. Draw a stepwise mechanism for the following reaction.
