Abstract

We showed (J. Org. Chem. 2012, 77, 9634) that the activation by methylation of pyridyl-based alkoxyamine 1 increased with the hydrogen bond donor properties of solvents. In this paper, activation of 1 by protonation with acids, CF3COOH and CSA, in tert-butylbenzene (t-BuPh) and in H2O/MeOH afforded, with CF3COOH, k(d) 28-fold larger in H2O/MeOH than in t-BuPh, whereas it was only 4-fold larger when CSA was used. This puzzling observation was ascribed to the dissociation of the intimate ion pair.
