A. Rockenbauer et L. Korecz, COMMENT ON CONVERSION OF NITRIC-OXIDE INTO A NITROXIDE RADICAL USING 2,3-DIMETHYLBUTADIENE AND 2,5-DIMETHYLHEXADIENE, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (2), 1994, pp. 145-145
ESR spectroscopic evidence is given to suggest that N0(2) initiates ra
dical formation instead of the previously assumed ring-closure mechani
sm in the reaction of nitric oxide with 2,3-dimethyl-l,3-butadiene and
2,5-dimethyl-2,4-hexadiene.
