An air-stable (amino)(amido)radical was synthesized by reacting a cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene with carbazoyl chloride{,} followed by one-electron reduction. We show that an adjacent radical center weakens the amide bond. It enables the amino group to act as a strong acceptor under steric contraint{,} thus enhancing the stabilizing capto-dative effect.
