Abstract

Thiols are generally considered hydrogen donors and their corresponding thiyl radicals play important roles not only in chemical but also in biological areas because of their character- istic behaviors.1 For example, addition reactions to the unsatu- rated carbon bonds in chemistry, and the well known “repair reactions” toward targeted carbon-centered radicals in biology.2 The abstraction of hydrogen by thiyl radicals is also well known and several examples ...
