43. 2 < C(=O)OMe < Ph (the rate constants for the decomposition of the corresponding azoalcanes (free from polar effects) differ by 1 order of magnitude from one to the next). The 2-naphthyl group is likely to stabilize the carbon-centered radical more or less as efficiently as a phenyl group. Of course, some polar contribution is not completely excluded in the case of carbonyl substituents.
