A study was made of the radical reactivities of substituted nitrobenzenes where, in addition to the inductive effect, a mesomeric effect is exerted by the substituent on the reactivity of the nitro group. Investigation of the relative intensity of the mesometic effect showed that the mesomeric effec

✦ Synopsis
The reactions of substituted phenols with polyvinyl acetate radicals have been investigated. The stoichiometric coe~cient of the reaction is independent of the substituents. Electron-repelling substituents in the phenols increase the rate of reaction. The reactivities of the investigated compounds satisfy the following Hammett equation log cfl--0.34-1-52E~ +.
The steric hindrance existing in cases of tert. butyl substituents in both ortho positions is discussed on the basis of these experiments and on other data available in the literature. Possible reasons for anomalous behaviour of halogen substituents are considered. After discussing several possible explanations, the electrophilic substituent constants of fluorine, chlorine and bromine are corrected for the case of reaction with polyvinyl acetate radicals, The features of peroxy and carbon radicals in phenolic reactions are compared. The case of chain transfer is distinguished from inhibition.

A study was made on the inhibition by some 3,3'-and 4,4'-disubstituted azobenzenes of the polymerization of vinylacetate initiated by azoisobutyronitrile at 50 °. The inhibitory effects of these substances can be attributed to their ability to engage in radical addition giving a less reactive hydraz
