Abstract: We study the following conjecture, which is a sharp analogue of the well-known BaerSuzuki theorem for the π-radical of a finite group. For an arbitrary set π of primes not containing all primes, let r be the smallest prime not in π. Setm = r if r ⩽ 3 and m = r−1 if r>3. Then, in a finite group G, the largest normal π-subgroup always coincides with the set of elements x such that any m conjugates of x generate a π-subgroup. To date, this conjecture has been confirmed for any finite group whose every nonabelian composition factor is isomorphic to a sporadic, alternating, linear, or unitary simple group, or to one of the groups 2B2(q), 2G2(q), 2F4(q)′, G2(q), or 3D4(q). It is proved that the simple symplectic groups S2n(q) can be added to this list.
