The rate constants, k(T), k(r), and k(Q), corresponding to the substrate induced total removal, chemical removal, and physical removal of singlet oxygen, respectively, have been measured for a series of sulfenamides. The structural effects on the partitioning of the persulfinamide intermediate along the chemical and physical deactivation pathways is discussed.
