✦ Synopsis
Di-tert-butyl nitroxide (DTBN) decomposes in aqueous solutions producing 2-methyl-2-nitroso propane (MNP) and tert-butanol. The process is acid catalyzed, it is of second order in DTBN, and takes place with a rate constant of (1.0 2 0.1) M-* s-'. The reaction is also catalyzed by the anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate and by FelII) and Fe(II1) ions. The catalysis by Fe(II1) involves a very fast reduction of Fe(II1) ions with concomitant formation of 2-methyl-2-nitroso propane. The reaction catalyzed by Fe(I1) also produces 2-methyl-2-nitroso propane with a formation rate given by: d[MNPl/dt = (0.25 -+ 0.10) [Fe(II)I [DTBNI. This reaction rate is nearly pH independent.
