## Abstract The addition of methoxy radicals to several olefins has been studied by a competitive method at 127Β°C in gas phase. The thermal decomposition of dimethyl peroxide was used as methoxy radical source. The rate of addition to the double bond was measured relative to the oxidation of carbon
**The presence of a negative partial charge on the benzylic carbon atom in the transition state** __(1)__ can be deduced from the experimentally determinable Hammett Ο± values. Alkyl radicals R^Λ^ are accordingly seen to develop nucleophilic properties during addition to olefins. equation image
