## Abstract A PCM continuum model, at the B3LYP, B3P86, and B3PW91 three‐parameter hybrid DFT methods with 6‐311G\*\* basis set, is used to study the bond dissociation energies (BDEs) of benzyl nitrites. Compared the computed results with the experimental values, it is noted that B3PW91 functional
## Abstract Reactions of isopropyl and of undecyl radicals with __meta‐__ and __para__‐substituted toluenes are reported. The results demonstrate that the reactivities of toluenes are due to both benzyl‐H abstraction and addition of the alkyl radicals to the aromatic ring. Relative reactivities yie
