Based on EPR, Raman, and mass spectral evidence , the formula 1 best describes the transient intermediate which forms upon treatment of 2 with tert ‐butyl hydroperoxide in the presence of alcohol. Kinetic evidence suggests that its decomposition by oxidation of the bound alcohol proceeds via the transition state 3 . tpa = tris(2‐pyridylmethyl)amine.
