Reaktionen von Cyclanyl‐Radikalen in der Gasphase. II. Cyclohexyl‐Radikale aus Azomethan‐Cyclohexan‐Gemischen

Reactions of Cyclanyl Radicals in the Gas Phase. II. Cyclohexyl Radicals from Mixtures of Azomethane and Cyclohexane Cyclohexane‐azomethane mixtures in argon as diluent were converted by temperatures between 400 and 480°C in a stirred flow system. All products were analytically determined in a comprehensive way. In this way not only isomeric C 6 H 11 ‐radicals, which were already known from former investigations, but also hitherto unknown C 6 H 11 ‐radicals, especially the 3‐methylcyclopentyl radical, could be detected as a recombination product with methyl radicals or as the corresponding olefinic compounds. From the results the stationary concentrations of important radical species were estimated and mechanistic consequences discussed.
