Electron-transfer chain (ETC) promotion of aromatic substitution reactions. Entry into the SON2 mechanism via ipso radical attack

Abstract
The oxidative electron-transfer chain mechanism, the SON2 mechanism, is shown to be initiated by benzoyloxyl radicals since 4-flouroanisole can be converted into a mixture of 4-methoxyphenyl acetate and benzoate (maximum ratio 10:1) in high yield by decomposing benzoyl peroxide in HOAc–KOAc at 78 °C.
