β¦ Synopsis
Reports to date of free radical additions to isocyanides are rare as well as inconclusive.
(2) Recently, we initiated a study of such reactions aimed at (i) assessing their generality, and (ii) their facility relative to other well-defined free radical reactions.
We wish to report our initial findings now on the addition of i-butoxy and i-butyl radicals to tbutylfsocyanide at 125Β°C.
In preliminary experiments, we observed that thermolysis of di-g-butylperoxide (DBP) (125') in the presence of t-butylfsocyanide led to formation of t-butylisocyanate and pivalonitrile presumably via the reactions below.
