Steric effects of nucleophile-radical coupling reaction. Determination of rate constants for the reaction of aryl radicals with 2-naphthoxide anion

Article abstract of DOI:10.1039/b820374a

The absolute rate constants for the reaction of different aryl radicals with 2-naphthoxide anion were determined using an indirect method, a competition of the coupling reaction with the H-atom abstraction. We here show that the radical-ambident nucleophi
