A MOPAC calculation is performed to explain the new ortho-substitutent effect of phenols proposed by the authors; an alpha-hydrogen of an ortho-substituent being used to regenerate a phenol from the phenoxy radical. The benzyl radical derived from the intramolecular hydrogen transfer of a phenoxy radical is found to be as stable as, or more stable than, the phenoxy radical. The regenerated phenol also is strikingly more stable than a quinoid type compound formed by the reaction of a phenoxy radical with another peroxy radical. Thus, the new ortho-substituent effect mentioned above can also be well explained by this work. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
