Abstract

A study of the kinetics of decay of three (Z)-2, 2, 2-trifluoro-1-arylethanediazoates at 25° C in aqueous media, 4% 2-propanol by volume, ionic strength 1 M (NaClO4) in the pH range 4- 13, as well as the results of experiments to detect deuterium incorporation into products from solvent is reported. It is concluded in the case of the unsubstituted compound that the buffer- independent reaction involves rate-limiting heterolytic bond fission of the diazoic acid to ...
