Similar results were obtained when different methods of generating a given radical were employed. For example, the 2, 2, 2-triphenylethyl radical generated by aldehyde decarbonylation, thermal decomposition of azo compounds, the Hunsdiecker reaction, peroxide decomposition, or Molbe elect'rolysis normally undergoes extensive rearrangement to the l, l, Ztriphenylethyl radical, but can be intercepted before ...
