Abstract:
The results obtained in recent years by the spin trapping method in the solution of a number of kinetic problems are analysed and a systematic account is given of the rate constants for the addition of alkyl, polychloroalkyl and hetero-radicals as well as certain others to nitroso-compounds and nitrones; the kinetic data obtained by the spin trapping method in the study of the isomerisation, fragmentation, elimination, substitution and addition reactions are surveyed. The bibliography includes 127 references.
