Alkoxy examples of these are produced by thermal decomposition of dialkyl peroxides. N-bromosuccinimide serves as a donor of these compounds, which are also intermediates in the degradation of nitrites to nitrosoalcohols in the Barton reaction. Gomberg's reagent was the first persistent one prepared, and was relatively unreactive due to steric hindrance from three phenyl groups. All the intermediates, but none of the products of the Birch reduction are this type of compound. Hyperfine interactions in these substances can be measured by means of ESR, in which they resonate when radiated with gigahertz-frequency photons. Photodissociation of CFCs yields substances of this type which are believed to be primarily responsible for the depletion of the ozone layer. For 10 points, name these typically-reactive substances which contain unpaired electrons.
