49. It is important to point out that even though it is generally assumed that the displacement of phenoxyl radicals from triaryl phosphites by alkoxyl radicals is a concerted process, ESR evidence in favor of the formation of an intermediate phosphoranyl radical has been provided in the reactions of alkoxyl radicals with triphenyl phosphite (see ref 3a).

51. It is important to mention that as compared to phenolic antioxidants, triaryl phosphites are able, at least in principle, to scavenge 3 equiv of alkoxyl radicals.
