The effect of ortho′-substituted side chains bearing nucleophilic groups such as CH 2 OH, CH 2 NHR, and CO 2 H on the reactivity of anodically generated 4-methoxy- and 3,4-dimethoxystilbene cation radicals was investigated, and results were compared with those of substrates where the nucleophilic gr...
