Notes:
The absolute rate constants for reversible addition of the substituted phenylthio radicals to vinylpyridines in solution at 23°C have been determined by flash photolysis method. For each phenylthio radical, the reactivities of vinylpyridines is 3-5 times lower than that of styrene. The relative equilibrium constants estimated with flash photolysis indicate that the stabilities of the adduct carbon-centered radicals generated from vinylpyridines are similar to that from styrene. The Hammett plots suggest that the difference in the reactivities originates in the polar transition state; the nitrogen atom in 4-vinylpyridine withdraws the electrons of vinylic double bond.
