THE EFFECT OF MOLECULAR STRUCTURE ON THE CLEAVAGE OF OXYGEN-OXYGEN BONDS.

Abstract

The importance of bridging to suitable neighboring groups in the transition states of reactions leading to free radicals has been demonstrated by kinetic studies on several systems. Accelerations of O-O bond cleavage by a factor of as much as 10 to the 5th power has been observed in favorable cases when sulfide sulfur is the neighboring group. Oxygen-18 tracer techniques have been used to extend the concept to include the postulation of a bridged intermediate radical in one case.
