Several frozen aliphatic amines have been γ-irradiated at 77 °K and the electron spin resonance (e.s.r.) spectra of the trapped radicals obtained at 77 °K and on warming. Radiolysis of methyl, ethyl and isopropyl amines produces predominantly alkylamino [Formula: see text] radicals. The proton hyperfine (h.f.) couplings of [Formula: see text] radicals are 10–30% larger than those in the corresponding isoelectronic alkyl radicals and the parallel component of the 14N coupling is about 35 G. Restricted rotation of alkyl groups occurs at 77 °K in some cases. On warming from 77 °K, the [Formula: see text] radicals generally abstract from the solvent or isomerize to produce radicals of the aminoalkyl type (e.g. RĊHNH2). The alkyl proton h.f. splittings of these latter radicals are 20–40% lower than in the corresponding alkyl radicals, and the observed 14N coupling was [Formula: see text] in ĊH2NR2 and [Formula: see text] in (CH3)2ĊNH2 and CH3ĊHNH2. The amino proton couplings in the aminoalkyl radicals were not resolved. Irradiated dimethylamine produces both (CH3)2N and CH2N(CH3) radicals, but (CH3)2N disappears on warming. Only ĊH2N(CH3)2 was observed after irradiation of (CH3)3N at 77 °K. Solid methoxyamine (giving CH3ONH) and tert-butyl-amine were also studied.
