Abstract

The relative rate constant of chemical removal of singlet oxygen from solution by 1 and adamantane adamantylidene, 3, was measured by the competitive kinetic method of Higgins, Foote, and Cheng.'O Since problems were encountered with 1 interacting with an intermediate formed in the reaction of 3 (vide infra) the oxidations of the these competing substrates were conducted side-by-side on a merry-go-round to ensure identical steady ...
