Abstract

Eleven compounds of general structure RCON= NC (CN) R2', where R= C6H5, CH3, C6H5CH2, and R2'=(CH3) 2,(CH2) 4,(CH2) 5,(CH2) 6, have been found to decompose in a first-order manner in dilute toluene solution in the temperature range 60-100°. The N-acetyl compounds decompose ca. four times faster than the corresponding N-benzoyl cases. Variation in R2'causes changes in rate parallel to those observed by Overberger for the ...
