D. Crich et F. Recupero, STERIC ACCELERATION IN THE REACTION OF ARYL BROMIDES WITH TRIBUTYLSTANNYL RADICALS, Chemical communications, (2), 1998, pp. 189-190
Approximate absolute rate constants for the abstraction of bromine fro
m a series of aryl bromides by stannyl radicals have been determined:
2,4,6-tri-tert-butylbromobenzene and 2,4,6-triphenylbromobenzene are f
ound to be unusually reactive, most likely owing to steric acceleratio
