Carbon-Carbon Bond Cleavage by the Dianion Mechanism. Small Kinetic Advantage over the Radical Anion Cleavage

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Carbon-carbon bond cleavage in dianions is faster than in radical anions as expected from thermodynamic considerations. However, in contrast to the radical anion fragmentation, where ΔG‡ ≅ ΔG, the dianion scission has a much larger intrinsic barrier (ΔG‡ ≫ ΔG).
