Rate constants for one‐electron oxidation by the methylperoxyl radicals (CH 3 O 2 , HOCH 2 O 2 , − O 2 CCH 2 O 2 , and CCI 3 O 2 ) in aqueous solutions have been measured by pulse radiolysis and found to be in the range of 3 × 10 5 to 6 × 10 8 M −1 s −1 for compounds with redox potentials between 0.6 and 0.1 V. Substitution on the methylperoxyl radical with OH or CO 2 − has only a minor effect on the rate of oxidation but substitution with three chlorines increases the rate constants by two orders of magnitude. The redox potential of the CH 3 O 2 radical is estimated to be 0.6–0.7 V.
