Influence of the solvent on the rate constant of the reaction of the cumylperoxy radical with benzyl alcohol

Theoretical and Experimental Chemistry Aims and scope

Abstract

The rate constants of the reaction of stripping of a hydrogen atom from a benzyl alcohol molecule by the cumylperoxy radical were measured in various solvents. The main factor determining the change in the value of the constant with variation of the solvent is the basicity (nucleophilicity) of the medium, an increase in which promotes the occurrence of the reaction.
