The influence of the size and structure of a spectator alkyl group on the relative rates of alkyl radical elimination from ionised tertiary amines

Abstract

The relative rates of alkyl radical elimination by α-cleavage of ionised amines of general structure, CH3CH2CH2(CH3CH 2)CHN(CH3)R+. or CH3CH2CH2CH2(CH3CH 2CH2)CHN(CH3)R+., where R = n-CnH2n+1 (n = 1-10, 12 or 14), iso-C5H11, CH2CH(CH3)C2H5, neo-C5H11 or CH2CH2C(CH3)3, are reported. The size of the spectator alkyl group, R, affects the ratio of ethyl and propyl radical loss from metastable ionised amines containing a 3-hexyl group; the slight …
