The kinetics of free radical chain reactions in solutions of trichlorofluorethylene in cyclohexane

The kinetics of the gamma-radiation-induced free radical chain reaction in solutions of C₂Cl₃F in cyclohexane (RH) was investigated over a temperature range of 87.5–200°C. The following rate constants and rate constant ratios were determined for the reactions: In competitive experiments in ternary solutions of C₂Cl₄ and C₂Cl₃F in cyclohexane the rate constant ratio k_2c/k_2a was determined By comparing with previous data for the addition of cyclohexyl radicals to other chloroethylenes it is shown that in certain cases the trends in activation energies for cyclohexyl radical addition can be correlated with the C? Cl bond dissociation energies in the adduct radicals.

Thermal decomposition of cyclopentane and related compounds

Cyclopentane has been decomposed in comparative-rate single-pulse shock-tube experiments. The pyrolytic mechanism involves isomerization to 1-pentene and also a minor pathway leading to cyclopropane and ethylene. This is followed by the decomposition of 1-pentene and cyclopropane. The rate expressions over the temperature range of 1000°–1200° K are Details of the cyclopentane decomposition processes are considered, and it appears that if the trimethylene radical is an intermediate, then ΔH_f(trimethylene) ≤ 280 kJ/mol at 300°K.     

The gas-phase kinetics of the reaction of 1,1,1-trifluoroethyl iodine with HI: The C?I bond dissocation energy in 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl iodide

The kinetics of the gas-phase reaction of 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl iodide with hydrogen iodide has been studied over the temperature range of 525°K to 602°K and a tenfold variation in the ratio of CF₃CH₂I/HI. The experimental results are in good agreement with the expected free radical-mechanism: An analysis of the kinetic data yield: where θ =2.303RT in kcal/mol. If these results are combined with the assumption that E₂ = 0 ± 1 kcal/mol, then one obtains DH (CF₃CH₂? I) = 56.3 kcal/mol. This result may be compared with DH(CH₃CH₂? I) = 52.9 kcal/mol and suggests that substitution of three fluorines for hydrogen in the beta position strengthens the C? I bond slightly.

Kinetics and the mechanism of the thermal reaction between trifluoromethylhypofluorite and hexafluoropropene

The kinetics of the thermal reaction between CF₃OF and C₃F₆ have been investigated between 20 and 75°C. It is a homogeneous chain reaction of moderate length where the main product is a mixture of the two isomers 1-C₃F₇OCF₃ (68%) and 2-C₃F₇OCF₃ (32%). Equimolecular amounts of CF₃OOF₃ and C₆F₁₄ are formed in much smaller quantities. Inert gases and the reaction products have no influence on the reaction, whereas only small amounts of oxygen change the course of reaction and larger amounts produce explosions. The rate of reaction can be represented by eq. (I): The following mechanism explains the experimental results: Reaction (5) can be replaced by reactions (5a) and (5b), without changing the result: Reaction (4) is possibly a two-step reaction: For ∣CF₃ = ∣C₃F₆∣, ν_20°C = 36.8, ν_50°C = 24.0, and ν_70°C = 14.2.     

Kinetic study of the iodine monobromide-or iodine monochloride-catalyzed alcoholysis of butoxytriethylsilane: n-butoxy group — s-butoxy group exchange reaction

The catalytic activity of iodine monobromide and iodine monochloride were investigated in the reaction, Et₃SiOBuⁿ + Bu^sOH ? Et₃SiOBu^s + BuⁿOH. Pseudo first-order rate constants were measured by gas chromatography, at 10°, 20°, 30°, and 40°C for iodine monobromide and at 10°, 20°, and 30°C for iodine monochloride, on reaction mixtures containing both butanols in excess. The catalytic coefficients of both catalysts were evaluated from the observed rate constants as follows: The activation paramaters were estimated from these data, and were compared with the values for iodine catalysis. These results are consistent with the mechanism previously proposed.     

Unexpectedly rapid vapor-phase reaction between bromine and methyl iodide

The overall reaction (1) occurs readily in the gas phase, even at room temperature in the dark. The reaction is much faster than the corresponding process and does not involve the normal bromination mechanism for gas phase reactions. Reaction (1) is probably heterogeneous although other mechanisms cannot be excluded. The overall reactions (1) (2) proceed, for all practical purposes, completely to the right-hand side in the vapor phase. The expected mechanism is (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) where reaction (3) is initiated thermally or photochemically. Reaction (4) is of interest because little kinetic data are available on reactions involving abstraction of halogen by halogen and also because an accurate determination of the activation energy E₄ would prmit us to calculate an acccurate value of the bond dissociation energy D(CH₃? I).     

Thermal stability of primary amines

Tertiary-amyl amine has been decomposed in single-pulse shock-tube experiments. Rate expressions for several of the important primary steps are This leads to D(CH₃? H) – D(NH₂? H) = ?10.5 kJ and D[(CH₃)₃C? H] – D[(CH₃)₂NH₂C? H] = + 6 kJ. The present and earlier comparative rate single-pulse shock-tube data when combined with high-pressure hydrazine decomposition results-(after correcting for fall off effects through RRKM calculations) gives where k_r(…) is the recombination rate involving the appropriate radicals. This suggests that in this context amino radical behavior is analogous to that of alkyl radicals. If this agreement is exact, then Rate expressions for the primary step in the decomposition of a variety of primary amines have been computed. In the case of benzyl amine where data exist the agreement is satisfactory. The following differences in bond energies have been estimated:

Rate expressions for the decomposition of the appropriate olefins which yield isobutenyl radicals and methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, n-propyl, t-butyl, and t-amyl radicals, respectively, are presented. The rate expression for the decomposition of isobutenyl radical is (at the beginning of the fall-off region). For the combination of isobutenyl and methyl radicals, the rate constant at 1020°K is Combination of this number and the calculated rate expression for 2-methylbutene-1 decomposition gives S. (1100) = 470 J/mol °K. This yields It is demonstrated that an upper limit for the rate of hydrogen abstraction by isobutenyl from toluene is
