Reactivity and structure of N-phenylnaphth-1-ylamines and related compounds. Part 1. Reactions with alkylperoxyl radicals

Abstract

Rate constants for the reaction of a series of N-phenylnaphth-1-ylamines and some related nitroxides and hydroxylamines with t-alkylperoxyl radicals have been measured using kinetic e.s.r. spectrometry and activation energies and A factors have been derived. The stoicheiometry of the reaction (peroxyl radical to N-phenylnaphth-1-ylamine) has been shown to be ca. 2 in all cases.
