Abstract

Cyclization of the 5-hexenyl free radical to the cyclopentylmethyl free radical was used to clock chlorine atom abstraction by 5-hexenyl from carbon tetrachloride in solution. The source of 5-hexenyl radicals was 5-hexenyl [1-hydroxy-1-methyl-ethyl] diazene ((CH3) 2C (OH) N= N (CH2) 4CH= CH2), which decomposes thermally in CCl4 by a radical chain mechanism to afford chloroform, acetone, nitrogen, 6-chloro-1-hexene, ...
