Photostimulated free radical chain reactions between alkoxide ions derived from primary alcohols and XCMe2NO2(X = Cl, Br, NO2, PhSO2, N3, or p-ClC6H4S) occur to produce Me2C(OR)2 by a reaction involving the trapping of Me2C(NO2)· by RO–, the decomposition of ROCMe2NO2·– to ROCMe2·, and the oxidation of ROCMe2· to Me2C![[double bond, length half m-dash]](https://www.rsc.org/images/entities/char_e006.gif)
