Abstract

What is the outcome of this reaction? In acetonitrile solution, the methylenic CH bond is approximately 25 kJ mol−1 weaker than the OH bond in the same molecule (see picture), as demonstrated by time-resolved photoacoustic calorimetry and quantum chemical methods. However, as shown by electron spin resonance spectroscopy, the tert-butoxy radical selectively abstracts the hydrogen atom from the OH group.
