Abstract: By means of the data referring to the relative reactivity of cumyloxy radicals determined from the products of cumyl peroxide decomposition in n-heptane, n-octane and in high-density polyethylene in dependence on temperature, C —H bonds reactivity of both the low- and the high-molecular paraffins in substitution radical reactions have been compared. The kinetic data obtained result in the conclusion that neither the activation energy nor the frequency factor of the reaction show any considerable difference in the media observed.
