Abstract

Effect of 14 solvents has been studied on the reaction of phenyl isocyanate with 1,3-diphenyltriazene. For ten of these solvents temperature dependence of the reaction velocity has been determined and the respective activation parameters calculated. Hydrogen atom of the triazene imino group has been replaced by deuterium, and the deuterium kinetic isotopic effect has been studied in seven solvents. The results confirm the mechanism suggested in a previous communication.
