title: Evidence for radical fragmentations from persistent singlet carbenes.
abstract: Upon warm up, persistent aminohydrazinocarbenes undergo beta-fragmentation reactions. Experimental as well as computational evidences are reported for the involvement of radical processes. This is the first example of a homolytic fragmentation for a persistent singlet carbene.
