A Spin Trap Investigation of Azolyl Radicals

Abstract

Abstract An ability of azolyl-anions to behave as one-electrons reductans in reactions with f-nitro-sobutane and iron carbonyls are found in solu-tions. The azolyl radicals formed in reaction of azolyl-anions and azoles with t-BuNO have been trapped as corresponding nitroxide radicals. The formation of radicals from azoles can be described as consequence of proton and electron transfer acts.
