89. Preliminary experiments show that incarcerated 5-methylcycloheptatetraene, which is equally strained as 2, reacts 7.4 times faster with triplet oxygen as compared to incarcerated 2; this suggests the possibility of an initializing electron transfer step in this reaction (J.-L. Kerdelhué, R. Warmuth, unpublished results).
