The radical coupling of α-or β-iodo phosphorus compounds such as iodo phosphonate, iodo phosphane oxide, and iodo phosphonothioate with butenylindium species, prepared by transmetalation between a (cyclopropylmethyl)stannane and InBr 3 , afforded the corresponding cyclopropylmethylated products. The radical reaction was initiated by the radical species generated from butenylindium assisted by a small amount of oxygen. Butenylindium works not only as a cyclopropylmethylating reagent, but also as a radical initiator. For
