The formation of the α-substituted radicals 7-9 with the 4-pyridyl (7), 1-naphthyl (8), and the 2-naphthyl (9) substituent by thermolysis of their dimers 1-3 in solution was investigated.The activation parameters of the homolysis of the central CC bond were obtained from kinetic measurements of the thermal cleavage of 1-3 in the presence of radical scavengers.These data were compared with those obtained from the thermolysis of alkanes which cleave into α-alkyl branched radicals, and which lose the same amount of strain during the dissociation.The "strain-free" radical stabilization enthalpies of the α-substituted radicals were obtained in this way. - Key Words: Bond cleavage, C-C, kinetics of / Radicals, stability of
