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).

| TEMPO• | 0.03 ± 0.01 | 31 ± 4 | 132 ± 2 |
| RSV + TEMPO• | 0.97 ± 0.13 | 1360 ± 260 | |
| 4-OH-TEMPO• | 0.07 ± 0.03 | 12.6 ± 1.7 | 15.6 ± 3.8 |
| RSV +4-OH-TEMPO• | 1.21 ± 0.04 | 580 ± 16 | |
| 3,5-DHAc | 0.63 ± 0.06 | ||
| 3,5-DHA + TEMPO• | 107 ± 1 | ||
| TEMPO-H | 7.7 ± 1.7 | 35 ± 1 | 44 ± 3 |
| RSV+ TEMPO-H | 9.0 ± 1.7 | 2100 ± 100 |
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.
