Abstract

Abstract: Both the free-radical reactions of cyanogen chloride and cyanogen with hydrocarbon substrates proceed by chain mechanisms involving intermediate imidyl radicals. In the reaction of cyanogen with 2, 3-dimethylbutane the imidyl radical was found to be the chain-carrying species while in the reactions of cyanogen chloride with a variety of hydrocarbons, the imidyl intermediate undergoes a@-scission reaction producing the ...
