Measurement of rates of abstraction of H atoms by aqueous OH radicals from specific sites in aliphatic amides by the technique of pulse radiolysis‐kinetic spectroscopy establishes that in this reaction, in which gross rates of reaction fall short of the diffusion‐controlled limit by no more than a factor of 10 2 , there is a systematic variation of reactivity with structure. This variation parallels dependence of reactivity upon structure observed in the reactions of several other free radicals in the gas phase.
