Evidence That the α-Effects in Methyl Transfers from Aryldimethylsulfonium Salts Correlate with Single-Electron-Transfer Characteristics

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo9606012

The ability of the anions of N-methylbenzohydroxamic acids to demonstrate the α-effect in methyl transfers from aryldimethylsulfonium salts correlates with the ability of these salts to demonstrate single-electron (SET) character in electrochemical experi
