43. Ring strain can probably be one of the reasons accounting for the larger 1,6/1,5-cyclization ratios observed with radicals 4b with respect to analogous vinyl radicals obtained by addition of α-phenyl-N-arylimidoyl radicals to phenylacetylene (ref 2f).

46. Correlation of the RE values with the [14]/[15] ratio would be more correct than that with the 10/11 yield ratio, However, since products 10 and 11 are the only fate of intermediates 14 and 15, respectively, we think that the 10/11 yield ratio should completely mirror the [14]/[15] ratio, independent of the number of steps required for the formation of the final products. We are considering the possibility of performing ESR experiments to estimate the concentrations of radicals 14 and 15.
