yield was low.

[15] One reviewer suggested that decomposition and side
reactions may occur in the radical inhibition experiments with
benzoquinone, DPPH, and BHT. The trapping product A could
arise from the reaction of the benzyl anion intermediate with air.
Moreover, the formation of B could arise by the electrophilic
attack of the amide anion by PhSeSePh. Although we are inclined
to a radical reaction pathway based on our accumulated studies on
the transformations in KOt-Bu/DMF system (ref. 11), we agree
with the reviewer that the anionic reaction pathway is also
possible and cannot be excluded undoubtedly.
