Abstract

Abstract: The chemistry and kinetics of singlet (pentafluoropheny1) nitrene were studied by chemical trapping and laser flash photolysis techniques. Photolysis of pentafluorophenyl azide in cyclohexane, benzene, diethylamine, pyridine, tetramethylethylene, tetrahydrofuran, dimethyl sulfoxide, and dimethyl sulfide forms adducts in fair to good yields. At ambient temperature singlet (pentafluoropheny1) nitrene is intercepted, and intersystem crossing ...
