Addition of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl DPPH to styrene at 75 deg C results in little change in the amounts of cis- and trans-1,2-diphenylcyclobutane and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-phenylnaphthalene, in a slightly smaller amount of 1-phenylnaphthalene, and in a considerable increase in the amount of 1,2-dihydro-1-phenylnaphthalene that are formed.Formation of the styrene trimer 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-phenyl-4-(1-phenylethyl)naphthalene is eliminated completely.Products derived from DPPH are 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-1-phenyl-2-picrylhydrazine 9 and 1--2,2-diphenylhydrazine, 10.DPPH intercepts the thermally formed Diels-Alder dimer of styrene as soon as it is formed to give the 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-4-phenyl-1-naphthyl radical.Thermolysis of bis(1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-4-phenyl-1-naphthyl)diazene in the presence of DPPH yields 20percent of 10, 10percent of 1--2-(4-nitrophenyl)-2-phenylhydrazine and 9 while thermolysis of 1,2-bis(1-phenylethyl)diazene in the presence of DPPH yields 9 and 44percent of 1--2,2-diphenylhydrazine showing that substituted benzyl radicals efficiently displace the 4-nitro group of DPPH.The nitro group is transferred to an unsubstituted phenyl group of DPPH.
