Nitroxide radical formation by the addition of aromatic C-nitrosocompounds to olefins
Abstract
E.s.r. measurements indicate that aromatic nitroso-compounds add to olefins by one-electron transfer from CC to NO bonds to give nitroxide radicals. The spectra of such radicals formed from 2,4,6-trichloronitrosobenzene and olefins having a wide range of substituent groups are tabulated. Possible reactions subsequent to the initial addition are proposed.
