36. An alternative mechanism to form 6 involving a single-electron transfer (SET) process between two molecules of 1 was disregarded due to the low reduction potential of 1, which makes the SET unlikely to occur. For electrochemical studies on 6-oxoverdazyl radicals, see: J. B. Gilroy, S. D. J. McKinnon, B. D. Koivisto, R. G. Hicks, Org. Lett. 2007, in press.
37. A hydrogen abstraction mechanism similar to that proposed for the verdazyl radical also occurs with nitroxide radicals leading to their decomposition, see: D. F. Bowman, I. Gillian, K. U. Ingold, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1971, 93, 6555.
