The Insertion Reaction of NH Singlet Radicals into the C-H Bonds of Cyclopropane and Isobutane in the Liquid Phase

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/bcsj.55.1739

Hydrogen azide was photolyzed in liquid cyclopropane at the temperature of Dry Ice-methanol.The main products observed were nitrogen, cyclopropylamine, and ammonia.The relative yields of the products depended slightly on the concentration of hydrogen azide.The results were then compared with those obtained with paraffin and olefin.The isobutane solution of hydrogen azide was photolyzed at 0 deg C.The products observed were the same as those obtained at the temperature of Dry-Ice-methanol.The relative yields of the products and the concentration dependence, however, were different.
