Methyl radicals react with BH 4 – to form BH 3 · – /BH 4 · ( k ≈ 5 × 10 3 M –1  s –1 . BH 3 · – /BH 4 · reacts with N 2 O to form OH · radicals, which react with (CH 3 ) 2 SO to form methyl radicals and thus initiate a chain oxidation process. It is suggested that analogous reactions can be initiated by the reaction of OH · radicals with other organic substrates. Thus, BH 4 – promotes oxidation processes.
