Abstract

The factors affecting the rate of addition of free radicals to olefinic double bonds have been examined with special reference to the relative importance of polar, resonance, and steric phenomena. A valid competitive method has been employed to measure the relative reactivities of substituted trans-stilbenes, substituted styrenes, and various aliphatic olefins towards thiyl radicals derived from thioglycollic acid and its methyl ester, and ...
