2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-l-oxyl radical

The formed acyl radicals are reactive towards efficient radical trapping reagents such as 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-l-oxyl radical (TEMPO), diphenyl diselenide and diphenyl disulphide, and A-f-butyl-a-phenylnitrone giving the respective adducts. ... 

MFEs on reaction yields had only been observed in the reactions through radical pairs and biradicals for long years after the discovery of the MFEs on luminescence due to the T-T quenching and T-D one in solid and liquid phases. On the other hand, the MFEs of radical pairs and biradicals are due to the spin conversion between their singlet -triplet (S-T) states. As shown in Section 13.2, CFDEP induced by the T-D quenching were also found in many reactions in solution at room temperature. Thus, the author s group tried to find MFEs on the yields of such reactions with our ns-laser photolysis apparatus. At first, we studied the electron transfer reaction of triplet 10-methylphenothiazine ( D ) with 4-(4-cyanobenzoyloxy)TEMPO ( A-Ri") in 2-propanol at 293 K [14]. Here, Ri is the TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-l-oxyl) radical. The reaction scheme is shown in Fig. 13-5(a). 

The polymerization of VAc by NMP was reported by Matyjaszewski group in 1996. To reduce the bimolecular radical termination dnring the polymerization, the authors attached the stable nitroxyl radical (TEMPO 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-l-oxyl radical) to the interior of a dendrimer and used this modified TEMPO ([G-3]-TEMPO) as a scavenger combined with 2,2 -azobis(2-methyl-propionitrile) (AIBN) to polymerize VAc. Fignre 5 shows the kinetic plot and the dependence of molecular weight on monomer conversion for the bnlk polymerization of VAc at 80 °C in the presence of [G-3]-TEMPO/AIBN.

Recently novel techniques for obtaining of cellulose nanocrystals have appeared in the literature. Cao et al. (2012) showed a controllable method to fabricate cellulose nanowhiskers from jute fibers with a high yield (over 80 %) via a 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-l-oxyl radical (TEMPO)/NaBr/NaC10 system selective oxidization combined with mechanical homogenization. 

There are several top-down approaches to isolate cellulose microfiber from the plant cell wall. These include acid hydrolysis [11], homogenizing [12, 13], grinding [14], enzymatic hydrolysis [15], and 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-l-oxyl radical (TFMPO)-mediated oxidation [16]. Of these, the grinding method is described here. 

There are mainly three methods used for isolating CNWs from raw cellulosic materials, including acid hydrolysis, enzymatic hydrolysis and 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-l-oxyl radical (TEMPO) mediated oxidation. In cellulosic materials, it is only pure in cotton fibers, whereas cellulose in wood and other plants always exists in combination with other materials such as lignin and hemicelluloses. 

For grafting, the amines were purchased from Aldrich Chemical Co 4-amino 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-l-oxyl radical (called 4-amino TEMPO), n-octylamine, /j-butylamine and 2-methoxyethylamine (Table 2).
