17. Cyclopentanone 1 was prepared by hydrogenation of 2,6- benzylidenecyclopentanone followed by reaction with tBuOK and MeI. Compounds 2 and 3 were prepared from 2,2-diphenylcyclopentanone (Easton, N. R.; Nelson, S. J. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1953, 75, 640) by reaction with MeI and tBuOK, and by reaction with pentaphenyl bismuth

23. Although high stereospecificity in the cyclization of singlet 1,4-biradicals suggests that product formation competes with conformational equilibration, 1,4-biradicals from azo precursors cyclize and cleave with similar probabilities: Bartlett, P.
