The first calibration of an aminiumyl radical ion clock: why N-cyclopropylanilines may be poor mechanistic probes for single electron transfer.
Using direct and indirect electrochemical methods, the rate constant for ring opening of the radical cation generated from N-cyclopropyl-N-methylaniline was found to be 4.1 x 10(4) s(-1).
