37. The possibility that iodoalkane formation occurs through an iodine transfer step from the hypoiodite, precursor of the alkoxyl radical, should also be considered. We thank a reviewer for drawing our attention on this point.

47. In a first approximation, by assuming similar rate constants for C-R bond cleavage in the 1-propylcyclohexoxyl and 1-propylcycloheptoxyl radicals, comparison between the Q ratios obtained from the reactions of the two radicals (Q = 0.06 for the 1-propylcyclohexoxyl radical and Q = 0.75 for the 1-propylcycloheptoxyl one) suggests that ring-opening of the former radical is faster than that of the latter one, a finding which, however, is in contrast with the significantly greater ring strain associated to a seven-membered ring as compared to a six-membered one. Moreover, such an assumption does not take into account that the differences in strain between the radical and the product cycloalkanone should be significantly different in the two systems (see ref 16), and accordingly different rates of C-R cleavage can be reasonably expected for the two radicals.

50. For example an increase between 10 and 20 times (depending on solvent) in the rate constant for C-Me β-scission is observed on going from the tert-butoxyl radical (see ref 36) to the cumyloxyl one (see refs 19 and 37).
