Abstract

The article describes a number of concerted proton-electron transfer (CPET) reactions of ascorbates in MeCN, which reveal an unusual solvent dependence of the O-H bond dissociation free energy. It concludes that ascorbyl radical is readily generated from the corresponding ascorbate by phenoxyl and nitroxyl radicals.
