Class III Substrates of Hperoxo: Correlation Between kobs and BDE

a

D(R+H-) and D(RH) are given for the bolded C–H bond.

b

Data from (64).

c

Calculated using -ΔGhydride (R+)s = 0.904D(R+H-) – 98.7 kcal/mol from (65). This relationship was originally derived for aromatic molecules in acetonitrile and DMSO, but should provide a good approximation for non-aromatic systems in aqueous solution.

d

Data from (47)

e

These values were originally determined for HCOOH but should approximate that of HCOONa.

f

Data from (66).
