Abstract Reactions of isopropyl and of undecyl radicals with meta-and para-substituted toluenes are reported. The results demonstrate that the reactivities of toluenes are due to both benzyl-H abstraction and addition of the alkyl radicals to the aromatic ring. Relative reactivities yield curved Hammett plots, consistent with kinetic data reported by Dütsch and Fischer. Abstractions and ring additions occur with comparable rates, but opposite ...
