Abstract
The effect of the hydroxy group on the partial rate constants of the reactions of the tert-butylperoxy radical with CH bonds in cyclohexanol at 333 K was studied by the Howard–Ingold method. The overall reaction rate constant increased with decreasing alcohol concentration in chlorobenzene because of complex effects of hydrogen bonds at the steps of chain growth and termination. The hydroxy group activates the α-CH bond and deactivates the β- and γ-CH bonds. The reactivity of δ-CH bonds is close to the reactivity of CH bonds in cyclohexane.
