30. In principle, deprotonation from the sidechain is an additional possibility. However, in this case there was no evidence for this reaction.
31. 2 (saturated) led to considerably smaller values of α (indicating some absorption at 466 nm due to radical) and to a decrease in amplitude of the cation.

41. The corresponding cation, showing a maximum at 390 nm with little absorbance at 490 nm. was prepared in concentrated acid from an acetal precursor.
