Aniline reacts with several organic peroxy compounds at room temperatu
re to yield radical intermediates detectable by E.P.R.. The reaction o
f these oxidants with aniline has been studied in detail and the radic
al species identified lead to the support of a one-electron transfer p
rocess preferentially to an S-N mechanism.
