Photoreduction of nitro compounds is accompanied by formation of various radical prod ucts that can react with the starting nitro compound, thus causing deviation of the decomposi tion kinetics from the first order kinetics with respect to the nitro compound. The results of quantum chemical modeling of the reactions of nitro compounds with radicals and the path ways of further transformations of radical adducts formed in the reactions are presented.
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.
