Photochemistry of oxalate esters as a route to free radicals. Decay routes of crowded free radicals

Photolysis of suitable oxalate esters leads to alkyl radicals which in the case of di- and tri-tert-butylmethyl abstract hydrogen and for triisopropylmethyl-d 18 gives an esr spectrum consistent with the 'cogwheel' conformation for this species.
