Because of the importance of hydroperoxy radicals in autoxidation processes, their reactions with hydrocarbons arc well known. However, reactions with monomers have not been widely studied. Absolute rate constants for addition to common monomers are in the range 0.09-3 M"1 s"1 at 40 °C. These are substantially lower than kL for other oxygen-centered radicals (Table 3.7). 454... 

This difficulty has now been overcome. Howard, Schwalm, and Ingold (24) show that the rate constant for reaction of any alkylperoxy radical with any hydrocarbon can be determined (by the sector method) by carrying out the autoxidation of the hydrocarbon in the presence of >0.1 M hydroperoxide corresponding to the chosen radical. All the absolute propagation and termination constants for the co-oxidation of cumene and Tetralin were thus determined. Our Tetralin-cumene work suggests that their results agree well with the best we have been able to get...

Figuie 19. Absolute configurations and signs of rotation (tetrahydrofuran) for resolved K-region derivatives of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. References are superscripted. Rotation of the free cis-4,5-dihydrodiol of benzo[a]pyrenc was not determined because of facile autoxidation which resulted in colored solutions. With liver microsomal enzymes from 3-methylcholanthrene-treated rats, the frar7s-(R,R)-dihydrodiol greatly predominates (96%) from benzo[a]pyrene, predominates (68%) from benz[a]anthracene, appears to be the minor enantiomer from 12-methylbenz[a]anthracene, and is the minor enantiomer (42%) from phenanthrene. ...
