Reactions between 2,6-dialkyl-l,4-benzoquinones and various free radicals have been studied by ESR spectroscopy. The stable intermediates were identified on the basis of their spectra. It has been established that cyanoisopropyl, polystyryl and poly-(ct-methylstyryl) radicals attack at the oxygen at

✦ Synopsis
IReactions
of 3,3',5,5'-tetra-ferz-butylstilbene-4,4'-quinone with free radicals from the decomposition of azo compounds and peroxides (R') have been studied by ESR spectroscopy. Relatively stable phenoxyl+,pe free radicals are formed via addition of R' across the exo C=C bond. Their coupling constants with the methine proton reflect steric effects. Further addition products lead to sterically crowded molecules which spontaneously dissociate into radicals via C(4)-C(7) bond cleavage.
