## Abstract The EPR spectra of a variety of different acyl radical adducts of PBN (__C__‐phenyl __N‐tert__‐butyl nitrone) and MNP (2‐methyl‐2‐nitrosopropane) were measured and their hyperfine splitting constants determined. Included are benzoyl, acetyl and other alkylacyl, alkoxyacyl, aminoacyl and

✦ Synopsis
The iminyl radicals formed from hydrogen atom abstraction between tert-butoxyl radicals and benzylidene-Nalkyl-or N-arylamines were trapped by 2-methyl-2-nitrosopropane and investigated by EPR spectroscopy. The compounds investigated were benzylidene N-methyl, ethyl, 1-propyl, 1-butyl, 2-methylpropyl, 1-methylethyl, 1methylpropyl, 1-ethylpropyl, 1-methylbutyl and cyclohexyl derivative and also benzylidene N-phenyl, 4-tolyl, 4-Ñuorophenyl, 4-methoxyphenyl, 4-chlorophenyl, 4-nitrophenyl and 4-triÑuoromethylphenyl derivatives. In every case the iminyl nitroxide (aminoxyl) was produced in benzene at room temperature. The nitrogen hyperÐne splitting constants were in the ranges 3.39-3.56 and 9.68-9.77 G for the iminyl and nitroxyl nitrogens, respectively, for the benzylidene-N-alkylamines and 3.60-3.77 and 8.45-9.15 G for the iminyl and nitroxyl nitrogens, respectively, for the benzylidene-N-arylamines. Very little evidence was found for hydrogen atom abstraction from the alkyl groups attached to the imine function. The absolute rate constant for hydrogen atom abstraction of the iminyl hydrogen was estimated to be 1.2 Â 104 M-1 s-1 based on competitive experiments with addition of tert-butoxyl radicals to 2-methyl-2-nitrosopropane (1.5 Â 106 M-1 s-1). This value is considerably slower than that for benzaldehyde (2.4 Â 107 M-1 s-1).
