27. •- both the methoxylated and the non-methoxylated ring are expected to be attacked (on the basis of the rate constants for reaction with anisole and benzene see ref 24 and: Neta, P.; Madhavan, V.; Zemel, H.; Fessenden, R. W. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1977, 99, 163-154. If this occurs, the equality of the yields from reaction with (a) the selective and (b) the nonselective oxidant indicates rapid intramolecular electron transfer from the methoxylated to the "electron hole" at the non-methoxylated ring.
28. In the insets b of Figures 1 and 2 are shown traces reflecting the optical density change at 300 nm in a time range extending to 1.6 ms after generation of the radical cations by reaction described in eq 8.

33. 33 Thus, the former group should be more effective than the latter in stabilizing the positive charge which, as already mentioned, should accumulate on the scissile bond in the transition state leading to the cleavage.
