Abstract
AbstractMethyl radicals react with BH4– to form BH3·–/BH4· (k ≈ 5 × 103 M–1 s–1. BH3·–/BH4· reacts with N2O to form OH· radicals, which react with (CH3)2SO to form methyl radicals and thus initiate a chain oxidation process. It is suggested that analogous reactions can be initiated by the reaction of OH· radicals with other organic substrates. Thus, BH4– promotes oxidation processes.
