65. For the relatively sluggish conversion 1 a+2 h→3 s (Figure 2) we were able to isolate 2-((1-tosylazetidin-3-yl)oxy)ethanol as a side product. This furthermore supports our proposed mechanism and can be explained by a competing undesired reduction of the initial oxygen- or carbon-centered radicals. See the Supporting Information for more details.
