A series of p-nitrobenzenesulfenate esters was used in laser flash photolysis (LFP) studies to generate alkoxyl radicals that fragmented to give the (2,2-diphenylcyclopropyl)methyl radical. Rate constants for the β-scission reactions increased as a function of the carbonyl compound produced in the fragmentation reaction in the order CH2O 2CO 2CO and increased with increasing solvent polarity. For alkoxyl radicals that fragment to produce benzaldehyde and benzophenone, the β-scission reactions are faster than 1,5-hydrogen atom abstractions when the incipient carbon radical is as stable as a secondary alkyl radical, and this entry to carbon radicals can be used in LFP kinetic studies.
Laser flash photolysis studies of alkoxyl radical kinetics using 4-nitrobenzenesulfenate esters as radical precursors

(matrix presented) 4-Nitrobenzenesulfenate esters were used as precursors for the generation of alkoxyl radicals under laser flash photolysis conditions. The esters were efficiently cleaved using the Nd:YAG third harmonic (355 nm) to produce alkoxyl radic
