Abstract

Abstract: This paper is one of a series that probes the reactions of nucleophiles with peroxides, reactions that can occur either by an initial SN2 reaction or by an electron- transfer (ET) reaction. The products and kinetics are reported for the reaction of dimethyl sulfide and a series of ring-substituted aryl methyl sulfides with tert-butyl peroxybenzoate (TBP) and four ring-substituted TPB's. Kinetic analysis allows the separation of the rate ...
