32. It is important to note that 5 is not formed by the thermal reaction of 3 below room temperature. Cf. Cava; M. P.; Deana, A. A. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1959, 81, 4266-4268.
33. Transient absorption was observed at 320 nm by the photolysis of 1 by using a pulse of a 266 nm laser, and the absorption is in good accord with that of the ortho-substituted benzyl radical:16 unpublished result. However, the decay of 3 was difficult to observe because of the overlapping of several species such as phenyl seleno radicals, diphenyl diselenide, intermediate 2a/b, and other unidentified species.
