Proton-electron transfer pathways in the reactions of peroxyl and dpph˙ radicals with hydrogen-bonded phenols

Chem Commun (Camb). 2012 Dec 18;48(97):11904-6. doi: 10.1039/c2cc36531f.

Abstract

The kinetics of the reaction of peroxyl and dpph˙ radicals with phenols H-bonded to N-bases have been studied for the first time. Electron-transfer processes are observed in MeCN but only with the dpph˙ radical.
