Reactivity of Alkoxy Radicals in β-Cleavage Reactions

Russian Journal of Organic Chemistry Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The reactivity of alkoxy radicals in β-cleavage reactions depends mostly on the nature of the leaving radical and not on the character of the arising ketone. The reactivity criteria based on isolated molecule approximation provide only qualitative relations. Yet the use of activation parameters calculated by quantum-chemical methods affords good quantitative correlations between the structure and the reactivity of alkoxy radicals in β-cleavage reactions.
