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

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. ... 

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 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. 

Stable organic nitroxyl radicals are of relatively recent use as catalysts in the oxidation of alcohols. Nitroxyl radicals are compounds that contain the A ,A -disubstituted NO-group with one unpaired electron, and their uses have been reviewed.124 The most simple radical of this class is 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-l-oxyl (43, TEMPO). It is generally assumed that the active oxidizing species, the oxoammonium salt (44), is formed in a catalytic cycle by a one-electron oxidation of the nitroxyl radical by a primary oxidant [two-electron oxidation of the hydroxylamine (45) is also possible, depending on the primary oxidant] (Scheme 21). 

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).

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). 

In other cases, organic modification of the sol gel cages markedly protects the entrapped molecular dopant from degradation by external reactants, as shown for instance by the entrapment of the radical 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-l-oxyl (TEMPO). This is a highly active catalyst which in the NaOCl oxidation of alcohols to carbonyls in a CH2CI2-H20 biphasic system becomes highly stabilized upon sol gel entrapment in an ORMOSIL matrix it progressively loses it activity when entrapped at the external surface of commercial silica.25... 

The anionic methylruthenium(II) species was autoxidized to a Ru(III) compound, RuMe(OEP). The methyl group of this compound was accidentally transformed into a coordinated carbon monoxide molecule by an excess of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-l-oxyl (TEMPO) [158] on an attempt to use TEMPO as a radical trap for the measurement of the Ru-C bond energy in solution. This was the first transformation of a methyl group to carbon monoxide to be observed in the proximity of a metal. 

Figure 7.2.12 shows the principal set-up for this experiment. The column, containing the immobilized free radicals consists of an adapted PEEK tube, which fits into the flow probe below the detection cell. Figure 7.2.13 depicts a spectrum of d-n-butylphthalate recorded under the influence of a ( free-radical ) column filled with 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-l-oxyl (TEMPO), immobilized with an aminopropyl spacer on silica. The spectrum is taken from an on-line separation of a two-compound mixture. The line width is of the same order as... 

To reveal the mode of dye-DNA binding, we studied quenching of the triplet states of thiaearboeyanine dyes K1 - K4 in solutions and in eomplexes with DNA (aqueous phosphate buffer, pH 7) by the stable nitroxyl radical 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-l-oxyl (4-hydroxy-TEMPO), iodide ion, and oxygen. To study the properties of the triplet states of the dyes, we used flash photolysis technique. 

The self-reactivity of R and their reactivity with oxygen are serious competitive processes for the reaction (Eq. 16). Recombination of R is preferred in PE, disproportionation in PP [186]. Oxidation proceeds in both polymers. The low probability of the reaction (Eq. 16) in the air atmosphere has, unfortunately been, mostly not reported in discussions of the HAS mechanism. Serious doubts arise when analyzing the reaction possibilities of R and NO [177,178,184,185,187]. Aliphatic ] N0 react rapidly with R at ambient and elevated temperatures [65]. The rate constants for the coupling with R are influenced by the resonance stability of alkyls [187]. The five membered NO l,l,3,3-tetramethylisoindoline-2-oxyl (TMIO) was found to be more reactive than 2,2,6,6,-tetramethylpiperidine-l-oxyl (TEMPO). w-Pentyl, Cert-butyl and benzyl radicals were used at 20 2°C in deaerated isooctane (solvent) [178,184,185]. The rate constants for bimolecular reactions of R (disproportionation and recombination) were compared with those of R oxidation and TEMPO scavenging [178,184,185,188] (Scheme 15). At room temperature, the scavenging of R by N0 is, by about one order of magnitude, slower than the self-termination of R [178],... 

The nitroxyls (a.k.a. nitroxides) are remarkably stable free radicals. Nitroxyls have two major resonance structures, one N-centered and one O-centered the lone electron may also be considered to be in the tt orbital of an N—O tt bond. Nitroxyls are thermodynamically stable because dimerization would give a very weak N—N, N—O, or O—N bond. TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-l-oxyl), a commercially available nitroxyl, is further stabilized by steric shielding, as shown here. Other thermodynamically stable free radicals include the small molecules O2 (a 1,2-diradical, best represented as -O—O ) and nitric oxide (NO), a messenger molecule in mammals that mediates smooth muscle contraction. 

As mentioned at the beginning of this section, Kirmse and coworkers (Bunse et al., 1992) found the first clear case of a homolytic aliphatic dediazoniation As shown in Scheme 7>24, the aqueous diazotization of 2>amino>2>methylpropane" nitrile (7.59) with two equivalents of NaN02 (or N2O4) yields products that are likely to be formed from the carbocation 7.60, namely 2>hydroxy-2-methylpropane-nitrile (7.62) and 2-methylprop-2-enenitrile (7.61), but also 2-methyl-2-nitropropane-nitrile (7.64), and the 7V,A-disubstituted 2>amino-2>methylpropanenitrile (7.66). The two last-mentioned products are probably formed via the radical 7.63. Direct evidence for this radical was found by experiments conducted in the presence of the radical scavenger 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-l-oxyl (TEMPO) to give 7.65 in good yield. In other experiments, dimerization and oxidation products of the radical 7.63 were identified. 

It has been reported that living radical polymerization of 4-acetoxystyrene with a TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-l-oxyl) adduct as the initiator, followed by base hydrolysis produces PHOSTs with narrow polydispersity, 1.1-1.4, which tend to have a 10-20°C higher 7g than their conventional PHOST counterparts (with polydispersity of 2.0-2.4), whose 7g ranges from 140 to 180°C. Hirao et al. have demonstrated the synthetic route to monodisperse PHOST, involving the living anionic polymerization of 4-tert-butyl(dimethyl)siloxystyrene... 

The starting point for every kind of EPR study is the choice of the radical that is best suited to deliver valuable information on the systems that are investigated. In this chapter only three types of radicals are used for this purpose. Nitroxide radicals such as TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-l-oxyl Pig. 2), its derivatives, and its five-ring analogs (Fig. 2) are the by far most widely used spin probes and spin labels and they are the spin probes of choice for the majority of EPR spectroscopic applications in naturally diamagnetic systems [2, 19]. 

Carroll and coworkers have published a series of papers on the use of aryliodonium salts in the synthesis of fiuorine-containing aromatic and heterocyclic products [63, 74, 75]. It has been found that the addition of radical scavengers such as TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-l-oxyl) during the fluoridation of diaryliodonium salts leads to a significant improvement of both the reproducibility of the process and the... 

Three-electron bonds are far from being just chemical curiosities - they are encountered in many persistent radicals (e.g. 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-l-yl)oxyl (=TEMPO), nitric oxide (NO), ketyl). Their formation (sometimes transient) can lead to significant consequences for reactivity. For example, strong 2c,3e bonds provide additional stabilization to the conjugate base of a-hydroxy radicals, explaining the much higher OH acidity in these compounds in comparison to the acidity of normal alcohols (Figure 3.7). ... 

While nitroxyl radicals, e.g., (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-l-yl)oxyl (TEMPO) (2014COR459) and 2-aza-adamantane-Al-oxyl (AZADO) (2006JA8412), have been used extensively as catalysts in the oxidation of alcohols, there have been no reports of analogous uses for hydrazyls and... 

Since its discovery in 1993 [27], nitroxide-mediated polymerization (NMP) has been the most extensively studied technique from the dissociation-combination dass of LRP mechanisms (Scheme 13.7). This method is also commonly termed stable free radical polymerization (SFRP). NMP reactions are distinguished by the use of stable free radical nitroxide molecules (N ) as the controlling agent [e.g. 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-l-oxyl (TEMPO), (l-diethylphosphono-2,2-dimethyl)propyl nitroxide (DEPN)]. 

The amorphous regions were studied using EPR spectroscopy, which allows the estimation of the molecular mobility in disordered regions [17], A stable nitroxyl radical, 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-l-oxyl (TEMPO) was used as a paramagnetic probe. The radical was introduced into the films from vapor at a temperature of 30 C. The rotational mobility of the radical probe was determined by the correlation time The following formula is used to calculate Eq. (2) r ... 

Stable free radicals are frequently employed as inhibitors (436,437). The most commonly used species are nitroxides, eg, 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-l-oxyl (TEMPO) 18. They are far too stable to be able to initiate polymerization, but they are reactive enough to imdergo reaction with other free radicals (438). Nitroxides are very efficient inhibitors, being capable of producing induction periods when present in concentrations of less than 10 mol L" Nitroxides, such as TEMPO, react with carbon-centered radicals at close to diffusion controlled reaction rates (439-441). The stoichiometry between the number of the chains...
