The “captodative effect”—does it indeed exist? Neither the reaction enthalpy nor the activation enthalpy for the dissociation of 2 (R C 6 H 5 ; t ‐C 4 H 9 ) decreases in polar solvents (ethylene glycol, succinic anhydride, N ‐methylacetamide) in comparison to the values measured in diphenyl ether or mesitylene. This finding contradicts the recently suggested strong stabilization of mero‐ or captodative‐substituted alkyl radicals, such as 1 , by polar solvents.
