p,p′-Disubstituted azocumenes were prepared from the requisite p-substituted cumylamines, p-XC6H4C(CH3)2NH2, X = CH3, CH3CH2, (CH3)2CH, (CH3)3C, or Br, by treatment with iodine pentafluoride. The major products from thermal decomposition were dicumyls, along with minor amounts of cumenes and α-methylstyrenes. Syntheses of the corresponding authentic materials are described.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
