Second-order rate constants (k1) for the σ-complexation of 4-nitrobenzofurazan 1 with four 4-X-substituted phenoxide anions 2a–2d (X = OCH3, CH3, H and Cl) were measured in aqueous solution at 20 °C. Using this series of phenoxide anions as a reference, the electrophilicity parameter (E) of this electrophile 1 has been evaluated according to Mayr’s approach. With the E value of –9.42, Mayr’s equation was found to correctly predict the rate constants for the reactions of 1 with hydroxide ion in H2O and a 1:1 ratio of H2O to CH3CN. However, the large βnuc value of 1.12 obtained in the present work is clearly consistent with a single electron transfer (SET) mechanism.

A method, the "competition method", for the determination of reduction potentials and estimation of standard potentials for short-lived radicals is reviewed. Applications of the reduction potentials of radicals as arguments for reaction mechanisms are presented for the Grignard reaction, the photoreduction of ketones with alcohols, and the SRN1 reaction. Reductions induced by hydroxide ions are discussed in more detail, and the classic reaction between nitrosobenzene and hydroxide ion in aqueous solution is used as an example of such a reaction. A nucleophilic attack by hydroxide ion rather than an electron transfer initiates the reduction sequence. A review with 26 references.
