21. The radical chain character of the reaction is also proven by the fact that no oxidation was observed in the presence of a trace amount of 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol as radical inhibitor.

26. In accordance with Ishii's observation (ref. 11), phthalimide has been detected as a decomposition product of NHPI. Gradual decomposition of NHPI to inert phthalimide accounts for the high amount of NHPI that is required in NHPI-catalyzed oxidations.
