STUDY OF THE ELECTRON-TRANSFER INITIATED REACTION OF N,N-DICHLORO-5-IODO-3-OXA-OCTAFLUOROPENTANE SULFONYL AMIDE AND CARBOMETHOXYDIFLUOROMETHANE SULFONYL AZIDE WITH 2-METHYL-2-NITROSOPROPANE
Cm. Zhou et al., STUDY OF THE ELECTRON-TRANSFER INITIATED REACTION OF N,N-DICHLORO-5-IODO-3-OXA-OCTAFLUOROPENTANE SULFONYL AMIDE AND CARBOMETHOXYDIFLUOROMETHANE SULFONYL AZIDE WITH 2-METHYL-2-NITROSOPROPANE, Journal of fluorine chemistry, 73(2), 1995, pp. 175-178
The reactions of N,N-dichloro-5-iodo-3-oxa-octafluoropentane sulfonyl
amide (1) and carbomethoxydifluoromethane sulfonyl azide (2) with 2-me
thyl-2-nitrosopropane (3) have been studied by EPR spectroscopy. Our r
esults suggest that these reactions are initiated by electron transfer
(ET) between the perfluoroalkane sulfonyl compounds and the donor 3.
The reaction of the dichloroamide 1 with 3 yields either one of two pr
oducts, i.e., the unsymmetrical nitroxide 4 or the symmetrical nitroxi
de 5, depending on the nature of the solvent and the amount of 1 used.
Possible mechanistic paths are discussed.
