SUBSTITUENT EFFECT ON THE REACTION OF 2-(SUBSTITUTED PHENYL)-4,5-DIHYDRO-4,4,5,5-TETRAMETHYLIMIDAZOL-1-OXYL 3-OXIDES WITH NITRIC OXIDE: AN EXPERIMENTAL AND MNDO STUDY

The relative rate constants of the oxygen transfer reaction of 2-(substituted phenyl)-4,5-dihydro-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazol-1-oxyl 3-oxides with nitric acid have been measured by using liquid chromatography (h.p.l.c.).The Hammett ρ value (-0.37) indicates that electron-donating substituents favour the reaction.This can be explained by a mechanism which includes electron transfer to nitric oxide and can be rationalised by frontier orbital energies and electron densities on the nitroxyl oxygen calculated by semiempirical MNDO methods.
