Nanosecond laser flash photolysis was used to generate sulfur radical cations of the thioether, S-methylglutathione (S-Me-Glu), via the one-electron oxidation of this thioether by triplet 4-carboxybenzophenone. The purpose of this investigation was to follow the neighboring group effects resulting from
