The reaction of fluoroxytrifluoromethane (FTM) with a group of ring-substituted styrenes has been studied.Reaction products have been determined, and relative rates for addition to the double bond have been measured by a competition method.The data give a straight line when plotted as log (k/kH)vs.Hammett ? values with a ρ of -2.48.A similar plot vs. ?+ gave less satisfactory agreement with linearity and a ρ of 2.18.A mechanism is proposed in which a spin-paired free-radical pair is formed that is converted by electron transfer into an ion pair.
