34. 4,4,5,5-Tetramethyl-1,3-dioxolan-2-yl radical is more stable than THF-2-yl radical by ca. 1 kcal/mol in B3LYP/6-31G* level DFT calculations. This would be the reason for a more facile retro-reaction in the reaction of 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3-dioxolane.

36. Although there is a possibility that alkoxyl radicals are generated from peroxides by the action of the iron salts, the suppressed production of 6 and 7 is not rationalized by the formation of alkoxyl radicals, which would only facilitate the generation of THF-2-yl radical and dioxolan-2-yl radical by hydrogen abstraction.
