KINETICS, MECHANISM, AND REACTIVITY OF AN ACTIVATED CARBON-CARBON DOUBLE-BOND IN NITROXYL RADICALS AND THEIR DIAMAGNETIC ANALOG IN INTERACTION WITH SOME SECONDARY-AMINES AND POLYETHYLENEIMINE

Routes for the reaction of a conjugated methylene group of nitroxyl ra dicals (NR) with secondary amines were suggested and analyzed. Kinetic parameters of the limiting step of this reaction for the NR-amine and diamagnetic analog of NR-amine systems were estimated. The effect of the medium on these reactions was examined. The specific behavior of p olyethyleneimine in the reaction with activated methylene groups of te tramethyl-3,5-dimethylene-4-oxopiperidine-1-oxyl was demonstrated.
