Results and discussion

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

In mechanistic studies, the reaction of paraphenylenediamines with oxygene and ozone radicals was studied.

  • Reaction with oxygene: Formation of quinone-diimines followed by oxidation of the nitrogene forming N-oxides.
  • Quninone-diimines may also react to mono-quinoneimines which might further react to p-benzoquinone
  • Reaction with ozone: Addition of ozone to nitrogene with cleavage of the C-N structure forming N-oxides. Quinone-iminines and N-oxides are reactive species which might further react forming higher and more complex molecules.
