Reaction of Nitric Oxide with Gaseous Hydrocarbon Free Radicals
THE inhibiting effect of nitric oxide upon radical chain-reactions in the decomposition of certain organic compounds is well known 1 , and such mechanisms as CH 3 + NO → CH 3 NO → H 2 CNOH → HCN + H 2 O have been invoked to explain this inhibition. Although Küchler and Theile 2 obtained traces of cy...

obtained traces of cyanide from the nitric oxide-inhibited decomposition of ethane, in no case has the nitroso compound been isolated in such reactions. Coe and Doumani

prepared nitrosomethane from the photolysis of
