Abstract
The reaction of trimethylamine with aqueous hexacyanoferrate(III) gave formyldimethylamine. The rate depends on the first powers of the concentrations of substrate and oxidant; the activation parameters were: E=57.0 kJ mol−1, ΔS≠=−154 JK−1 mol−1. The mechanism involves abstraction of the proton attached to the α-carbon, yielding a radical, whose ESR spectrum gave 9 spectral lines.
Abstract
Реакция триметиламина с водным гексацианоферратом(ІІІ) привела к образованию формилдиметиламина. Скорость реакции зависит от концентрации субстрата и оксиданта в первой степени, E=57,0 кДж. моль−1, ΔS≠=−154 Дж. К−1 моль−1. Механизм реакции — отрыв водорода от α-CH связи с образованием свободного радикала. Спектр ЭПР содерзит 9 линий.
