The reactivities of a wide variety of aliphatic carbon-hydrogen bonds toward the phenyl radical have been de-termined. In addition to alkanes and functionally substituted alkanes, thereactivities of allylic and benzylietype hydrogen atoms have been studied. The reactivities of hydrogen atoms attached to atoms other than carbon have also been measured. Under the reaction conditions phenyl radicals reacted with aralkyl hydro-carbons to give almost exclusive benzylic attack. For terminal olefins an appreciable fraction of the phenyl radicals was consumed byaddition processes. The present results represent themost extensive reactivity series available for a hydrogen abstraction process. The phenyl radical appears to be fairly free of polar effects in its reactions with saturated carbon-hydrogen bonds. Therefore the reactivity scale observed with a phenyl radical should be an important standardin assessing the importance of polar effects in other free radical processes.Although aromatic substitution reactions involving phenyl radicals have been extensively investigated, the attack of phenyl radicals on saturated carbon-hydrogen bonds has received little attention. We have studied the reactions of phenyl radicals with a wide variety of carbon-hydrogen bonds by measuring the benzene and chlorobenzene formed as products of the competing reactions.
