Origin of Regioselectivity in C–H Bond Scission by Radicals: Quantitatively Predicting Effect of Electrophilicity Using Adamantane

Abstract Hydrogen abstraction is a key step in the oxidation of saturated hydrocarbons and the functionalization of C–H groups via hydrogen atom transfer. To evaluate and predict the regioselectivity of active species in these reactions, adamantane has long been utilized as a pro...
