The rates of reaction of OH, e/sub aq/-, and CO/sub 3//sup -/ with N,N-diethylhydroxylamine (DEHA) in aqueous solutions have been measured. The rates obtained are k(OH + DEHA) = 1.3 x 10/sup 9/M/sup -1/s/sup -1/,k(e/sub aq//sup -/ + DEHA) = 4.8 x 10/sup 7/M/sup -1/s/sup -1/, and k(CO/sub 3//sup -/ + DEHA) = 4.3 x 10/sup 7/M/sup -1/s/sup -1/. The nitroxide radical intermediate produced by hydrogen abstraction in the OH and O/sup -//DEHA systems has an absorption peak at 400 nm, and the uv and visible spectrum is presented. This nitroxide radical is not produced in the CO/sub 3//sup -//DEHA system, indicating that the mode of reaction of CO/sub 3//sup -/ with DEHA does not involve hydrogen abstraction. The nitroxide radical disappears via a bimolecular reaction with the rate constant 2k(nitroxide) = 7.6 x 10/sup 8/M/sup -1/s/sup -1/. 4 figures, 1 table.
