Abstract
AbstractUMNDO reaction path calculations for trapping of the ethylene‐cation radical with ground state oxygen suggest that formation of a dioxetane radical cation proceeds through the intermediacy of a peroxycation radical. The predicted enthalpy of activation (ΔH‡ = 13.8 kcal/mol) is consistent with rapid trapping of olefinic cation radicals by triplet oxygen at room temperature.
