Ad. Malievskii et al., ROLE OF POLAR-SOLVENTS IN HYDROGEN-ATOM TRANSFER IN THE SYSTEM OF NITROXYL RADICAL AND SPATIALLY HINDERED HYDROXYLAMINE, Kinetics and catalysis, 38(4), 1997, pp. 485-489
The effect of acetone on the rate of hydrogen-atom transfer in the sys
tem nitroxyl radical-spatially hindered hydroxylamine-hexane (neutral
solvent) was studied at room temperature. An increase in the acetone c
oncentration from 0 to 100% causes a decrease in the reaction rate. Th
e main factor responsible for the decrease in the rate of the hydrogen
-atom transfer in the presence of acetone is a decrease in the concent
ration of free hydroxylamine which is due to the formation of unreacti
ve H-complexes of hydroxylamine with acetone.
