An Experimental and Calculated Study of Intramolecular Hydrogen Atom Transfer in Diethylene Glycol Bis(Allyl Carbonate)†
Abstract
Deuterium labeling experiments and molecular orbital (MNDO) calculations indicate that 1,6-homolytic hydrogen transfer from C8 to C3 is not responsible for the products observed when diethylene glycol bis(allyl carbonate) is treated with tert-butoxyl radicals in the presence of 1′,1′,3′,3′-tetramethylisoindolinyl-2′-oxyl.
