Hydroperoxyl (HOO.) and alkylperoxyl (ROO.) radicals show a different behavior in H-atom-transfer processes. Both radicals react with an analogue of α-tocopherol (TOH), but HOO., unlike ROO., is able to regenerate TOH by a fast H-atom transfer: TO.+HOO.→TOH+O2. The kinetic solvent effect on the H-atom transfer from TOH to HOO.is much stronger than that observed for ROO.because noncovalent interactions with polar solvents (Solv???HOO.) destabilize the transition state.
