Abstract

A series of stable 2,2-disubstituted 3-(phenylimino)indol-1-oxyls, the alkoxyamines 3. were prepared, characterized, and tested as possible candidates in controlled radical polymerization (CRP). The sturctures of 3d and 10 were additionally solved by X-ray diffraction. The lability of the N-O(C) and (N)O-C bonds of compounds 3 were compared, and the possibility of N-O vs. O-C bond cleavage was evaluated by thermal degradation, ESR spin trapping, MS experiments, and DFT calculations. Alkoxyamines with a primary- or secondary-alkyl group bound to the O-atom of the nitroxide function (hexyl and i-Pr) mainly underwent (undesired) N-O bond homolysis. When the O-alkyl radical was a tertiary or a benzyl group (crotonyl or styryl), O-C bond cleavage occurred as the main process, thus suggesting a possible use of these compounds in CRP processes.
