Not only capable of generating organic radicals by H abstraction, chromyl chloride can also trap them again (see scheme). This is confirmed by the crystal structure of a Cr V oxo alkoxide, which was formed in three successive steps when bisadamantylidene oxide was allowed to react with CrO 2 Cl 2 .
