Abstract

Cyclopropyl groups are also quite effective at stabilizing free radical intermediates5 as revealed, for example, in the enhanced rate for decomposition of cyclopropaneacetyl peroxide relative to cyclohexaneacetyl peroxide. 6 Martin and Timberlake measured the rates of decomposition of the dialkyl azo substrates 5-8 and observed a monotonic
