24. [2] for the oxidation of unactivated alkanes would be consistent with our results. However, with alkylbenzenes and α-alkylbenzyl alcohols, the relatively high stability of benzyl radicals should probably favor the formation of these species as reaction intermediates, so promoting the HAT mechanism.
