Abstract

Abstract The geminate self-reactions of the title methyl, ethyl and butyl ester radicals-(2a-c), formed by decomposition of the corresponding azo precursors (1a-c) in the presence of stable nitroxide radical scavengers, were found on the basis of product analysis to comprise combination and disproportionation in the ratios 56: 44 (methyl), 58: 42 (ethyl) and 47: 53 (butyl). In the absence of radical scavengers, extensive oligomerization is observed. ...
