Radicals from the Reaction of Hindered t-Benzyl-lithium Compounds with O2

The benzylic lithium compounds produced by 1:1 addition of t-butyl-lithium to α-methylstyrenes react with O2 to produce radicals which undergo disproportionation via hydrogen atom transfer; these unusual results are ascribed to steric hindrance about the benzyl carbon.
