Abstract

The radical chain decomposition of cyclopropylmethyl (1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-diazene at 253-341 K in hexafluorobenzene or in dichloromethane solution containing bromotrichloromethane affords cyclopropylmethyl bromide, 4-bromo-1-butene, 1-bromo-5, 5, 5-trichloro-2-pentene, and 3, 5-dibromo-1, 1, 1-trichloropentane from the cyclopropylmethyl portion of 1. Other major products are nitrogen, acetone, and chloroform. The rate constant ...
