61. The corresponding alcohol 10c was prepared by Wittig reaction in analogy to: D. A. Frey, S. H. K. Reddy, K. D. Moeller, J. Org. Chem. 1999, 64, 2805-2813. The mesylate was prepared by deprotonation of the alcohol with 1.1 equiv. of BuLi (1.6 M in hexane) and addition of 1.1. equiv. of MsCl at -78°C in THF.

76. In all experiments, where disproportionation to 18/19 was observed, the alkene/alkane ratio was 1:1. It is thus reasonable to use this expression to calculate the ratio of SET oxidation/radical termination in this way.
