Rg. Gasanov, ESR SPECTROSCOPIC STUDY ON THE ADDITION OF PHCONHCHCO(2)ME RADICALS TO ALKENES AND SPIN TRAPS, Russian chemical bulletin, 45(8), 1996, pp. 2019-2022
Using ESR spectroscopy, the rate constants for the addition of PhCONHC
HCO(2)Me radicals to alkenes CH2=CXY (X = Me, Y = Ph; X = H, Y = Ph; X
= Me, Y = CO(2)Me; X = H, Y = CO(2)Me; X = H, Y CN) and nitrosodurene
were determined at 22 degrees C. It is shown that a linear dependence
exists between the donor-acceptor properties of the substituents at t
he vinyl group and the rate constants for the addition.
