ESR Spectroscopic Study of the Ring Opening of the Homobenzvalenyl Radical N2 - Abstraction of an allylic hydrogen atom in homobenzvalene (4) either in solurion by photolyticaßy generated tert-butoxyl radicals or in an adamantane matrix by X-rays produces the homobcnzvalenyl radical (5). which tbennally rearranps · to tbe tropylium ndical (1). In solution tbe activation cnergy for the rate determined step of the reaction sequence was detennined· to be 13.4 ± O.S kcal/mol.
