MOLECULAR ORIGINS OF PRODUCTS OF REACTION OF PROPYLENE WITH ACTIVE NITROGEN
Abstract
The molecular origins of HCN, C2H2, C2H4, C2H6, C3H8 and CH3CN formed by the reaction of active nitrogen with propylene were investigated by determining the relative molar radioactivities of these products when formed respectively from each of the three propylenes labeled specifically at a single skeletal atom with C. The results establish that none of the C2 products arise from unique sites in the propylene molecule nor are any of them the result of random incorporation of carbon. The degradative processes responsible for their formation are apparently highly complex. (Author)
