9. -1) indicate that the transient absorption of the hydrazinyl radical lies at 290-310 nm.
10. Benzhydrol and 1,4-cyclohexadiene are capable of the stepwise transfer of two hydrogen atoms and may produce one molecule of hydrazine and benzophenone or benzene per reactive encounter.
11. Hydroxydiphenylmethyl radicals are capable of reducing azoalkanes, cf. Engel, P. S.; Wu, W.-X. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1989, 111, 1830. Such a process, along with the hydrogen abstraction by hydrazinyl radicals from the hydrogen donors, could initiate a chain reaction.
