The allyloxyl radicals were obtained by photolysis of the corresponding nitrites, generated directly via an exchange reaction between the appropriate allylic alcohol and tert-butyl nitrite, which also acted as the spin trap: (a) Grossi, L.; Strazzari, S.

26. In this scheme, radical-radical termination of two alkoxyl radicals and of an alkoxyl and a carbon centered radical, yielding respectively a peroxide and an ether, have not be included. These reaction can in fact be assumed to be relatively unimportant both for the very low steady-state concentration of the alkoxyl radical, which rapidly undergoes β-scission and H-abstraction, and for the low energies involved in the formed bonds. Also, reaction 2 can be considered to follow a pseudo-first-order kinetic equation, since acetonitrile, present as the solvent in large excess, can be assumed not to change its concentration significantly.
