The reactivities of hydrogen atoms of aliphatic amino acids toward hydroxyl radicals in the hydrogen atom abstraction reaction have been studied in terms of the energy required for stretching the C–H bond which is attacked. The energy required for stretching the C–H bond by 0.5 Å from the equilibrium bond length has been calculated by the INDO method and compared with the partial rate constants experimentally assigned to the hydrogen atoms of aliphatic amino acids. The energy required has been correlated only with the partial rate constants of the hydrogen atoms on the β-carbon atom. For the hydrogen atoms on the α-carbon atom, although data was insufficient a similar situation has been observed. The reactivities of the hydrogen atoms on the γ and δ-carbon atom failed to correlate with the stretching energy. The reasons are discussed in terms of the effect raised by the configuration of amino acid molecules in solution. The stretching energy has also been found to be consistent with the electrophilicity observed in the hydrogen abstraction reaction by hydroxyl radical.
