The exchange reaction of hydrogen atoms in the system sterically hindered hydroxylamine - Nitroxyl radical

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF02495549

The rate constants of the direct and reverse exchange reactions of the hydrogen atom in the system sterically-hindered nitroxyl radical - hydroxylamine of the quinoline, imidazoline, pyrrolidine, and piperidine series as well as diarylhydroxylamine were determined. A scale of the reductive abilities of the hydroxylamines was established. A low value of the isotope effect is typical of the reactions of hydrogen exchange in the systems hydroxylamine - nitroxyl radical.
