Abstract
The e.s.r. spectra show that in fluid solution the cyclobutylhydroxymethyl radical adopts a staggered conformation like that of cyclopropylmethyl radicals; in adamantane, cyclobutylhydroxymethyl radicals undergo ring-opening followed by 1,6-transfer of enolic hydrogen to give penten-1-oxyl radicals.Keywords
