Abstract

Approximately equimolar amounts of deuterated and undeuterated nitrones (6. Table I) were weighed into Pyrex tubes. The appropriate dry solvent (freshly distilled) was added with a pipet. The solutions were degassed and the tubes sealed under vacuum. The tubes were heated in a constant temperature bath at 144 f 0.1 OC. In one experiment the decomposition was performed at 173 & 0.1 OC. After a time required for 99.9% reaction, the O- ...
