Free radicals constitute the most frequently used class of reaction intermediates in organic chemistry. This study describes the structure and reactivity of fre

Free radical reactions have become increasingly important and a very attractive tool in organic synthesis in the last two decades, due to their powerful, select

The past twenty years has seen an explosion of interest in free radicals, as their pivotal role in both chemistry and biology has come to light. This introducto

The free-radical chemistry of DNA had been discussed in some detail in 1987 in my book The Chemical Basis of Radiation Biology. Obviously, the more recent devel

Free radical initiators–chemical molecules which easily decompose into free radicals–serve as reactive intermediates in synthetic methodologies such as orga
