Abstract
Observation of substituted cyclohexadienyl type radicals by muon spin rotation in substituted benzene at different concentrations of added p-benzoquinone or duroquinone allows a selective determination of rate constants for the reaction of the radicals with oxidants. Methyl substitution has no effect, methoxy substitution enhances the rate constants for the ortho and para substituted isomers.
