NOTES 321 1These predictions have been experimentally borne out recently by Hey and co-workersZ8 and others. These workers have studied the homolytic reactivity of various benzene derivatives to attack by phenyl radicals and have found that, in fact, as predicted the reactivity postulated by Wheland and others is valid.29 This work on the relative energies of the intermediates in homolytic aromatic substitutions is consistent with the half-wave values of the postulated intermediates, XI, obtained in the polarography of diazonium salts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
