Photolysis of a .beta.-Azo Perester, a Bifunctional Initiator. The Fragmentation Rate of a .beta.-Peroxy Ester Radical Determined by the Cyclopropylcarbinyl Clock Method
摘要:
Two free radical initiators containing an azo group and a perester moiety on adjacent carbons have been prepared. On long wavelength W irradiation, these compounds lose nitrogen to afford beta-perester radicals. The cyclopropylcarbinyl radical clock technique has been used to determine that the lifetime of these radicals at 25 degrees C toward beta-scission and decarboxylation is 480 ns. The potential utility of beta-azo peresters as bifunctional free radical initiators is briefly discussed.
