Cyanoxyl radical

Cyanoxyl radicals were generated in situ by an electron-transfer reaction between cyanate anions and p-chlorobenzenediazonium cations arenediazonium salts were previously prepared in water through the diazotization reaction of p-chloroaniline. Copolymerizations were performed using the Step 2 product and acrylamide at 50°C with ClCgPLtNi BF4 /NaOCN as the initiating system. Copolymers were isolated by precipitation in a 10-fold excess of methanol and characterized.
