Abstract
Tert-butoxyl radicals react with indole and methyl substituted derivatives by hydrogen abstraction. For those compounds which are unsubstituted at the N-atom, hydrogen abstraction takes place almost exclusively at the NH bond. The reactivity of these compounds correlates with their donor electron capacity, pointing to significant contribution of charge transfer to the transition state stability. Substitution at the N atom considerably decreases the reactivity.
