Table 1. Bimolecular Rate Constants, kS Calculated from eq 2a for Reactions of dpph with TEMPO, 4-OH-TEMPO, RSV, 3,5-DHA (See Figure 1E), and Equimolar Mixture of Tested Compounds (1:1, mol/mol) in Methanol (MeOH) and Ethyl Acetate (EtOAc).

Full statistical and kinetic data, together with plots of eq 2 are given in the Supporting Information. When a 1:1 mixture was used, kS was calculated from eq 2 with the assumption that [RTA] = [RSV] because for the initial rates RSV is a kinetically dominating RTA, see explanation in the text.

HB accepting ability expressed as β2H parameter is 0.41 for methanol and 0.45 for EtOAc. Methanol is also a donor for HB, its parameter of HB acidity, α2H = 0.367.17 The relative permittivities of methanol and ethyl acetate are 32.7 and 6.0, respectively.

pKa values for RSV: 9.0 (for the 4’OH group), 9.8 and 11.3 (for the 3 and 5 OH group), see the discussion in ref (18); pKa predicted for 3,5-DHA is 9.4.18
