Abstract
The reaction of styrene with AIBN in the presence of the aminoxyl scav enger 1,3,3-tetramethyl-1,3-dihydro-1H-isoindol-2-yloxyl is reported. By keeping the concentration of the aminoxyl radicals very low, the ad dition of cyanoisopropyl radicals to styrene becomes competitive with radical trapping. Traces of adventitious oxygen give rise to some unus ual reactions and products.
