Superoxide (O2.−) is a free‐radical anion of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) family. In the present study, the relative reactivities of 14 structurally varied aliphatic alcohols toward electrochemically generated O2.− were investigated in solutions of N,N‐dimethylformamide by using cyclic voltamme...
