61. H=0.18a mT (aromatic protons).
62. This is consistent with the value reported in the literature for the trapping of tert-butoxyl or tert-butylperoxyl radicals in toluene (∼2.5a mT), see ref.a [18b].
63. N ≥ 1.5a mT was observed under the same conditions with diethylzinc. The coupling constant is inconsistent with the trapping of an oxygen-centered radical species. At the moment we have no rationale for this experimental observation.

80. 2, oxygen is 20% molar with respect to dialkylzinc in experiments reported in entriesa 1-4. Oxygen is 2% molar in the experiments reported in entrya 5.

95. In the case of dibutylzinc, 6% of radical D was detected. The possible origin of this nitroxide will be discussed later.
96. This nitroxide was previously detected during the addition of organomagnesium compounds to DEPMPO, see: J.-L. Clément, DEA, Marseille, 1993.

98. At a high temperature (401a K) in chlorobenzene, the formation of D from DEPMPO was observed. According to the author (P.a G. Mekarbane, Ph. D. Thesis, Lancaster University (UK), 1998) D would result from a radical fragmentation process leading to the diethoxyphosphoryl radical that would be trapped by DEPMPO.
99. For the trapping of the benzyl radical from the reaction of benzylzinc iodide with TEMPO, see:, T. Nagashima, D. P. Curran, Synlett 1996, 330-332.
100. For the sake of clarity, this reaction was neglected in the previous discussion.
101. 2Zn faded completely after 5a min. Again, the behavior of dibutylzinc was in between, but was much closer to that of diethylzinc than that of dimethylzinc.
102. 2 was used as a Lewis acid to promote the addition of MeOH to DEPMPO in the presence of air, no signal was detected even after 10a min.
