Approximate rate constant for the intermolecular addition of a primary alkyl radical onto bis-methanesulfonyl oxime ether

Abstract

An approximate rate constant for the intermolecular addition of a primary alkyl radical onto bis-methanesulfonyl oxime ether 2 has been measured to be k_a = 1.7·10⁶ M^–1·s^–1 at 80 ^oC, which is in reasonably good agreement with the data obtained from competition experiments.
