H2S-promoted thermal isomerization of cis-2-pentene to 1-pentene and trans-2-pentene around 800 K

H₂S accelerates the thermal isomerization of cis-2-pentene (P2c) to 1-pentene (P1) and trans-2-pentene (P2t) to around 800 K. This effect is interpreted on the basis of a free radical mechanism in which 2-pentenyl and thiyl radicals are the main chain carriers. P1 formation is essentially explained by the competing processes: P2t formation is due to addition-elimination processes: the importance of which has been evaluated against process (?4μ): The following ratios of rate constants have been measured and are discussed: (RT in cal mol^?1).

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.

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).     

Shock tube study of cyanogen oxidation kinetics

Mixtures of cyanogen and nitrous oxide diluted in argon were shock-heated to measure the rate constants of A broad-band mercury lamp was used to measure CN in absorption at 388 nm [B²Σ⁺(v = 0) ← X²Σ⁺(v = 0)], and the spectral coincidence of a CO infrared absorption line [v(2 ← 1), J(37 ← 38)] with a CO laser line [v(6 → 5), J(15 → 16)] was exploited to monitor CO in absorption. The CO measurement established that reaction (3) produces CO in excited vibrational states. A computer fit of the experiments near 2000 K led to An additional measurement of NO via infrared absorption led to an estimate of the ratio k₅/k₆: with k₅/k₆ ? 10^3.36±0.27 at 2150 K. Mixtures of cyanogen and oxygen diluted in argon were shock heated to measure the rate constant of and the ratio k₅/k₆ by monitoring CN in absorption. We found near 2400 K: and The combined measurements of k₅/k₆ lead to k₅/k₆ ? 10^?3.07 exp(+31,800/T) (±60%) for 2150 ≤ T ≤ 2400 K.     

The addition of methyl radicals to hexafluoroacetone

The reaction of methyl radicals (Me) with hexafluoroacetone (HFA), generated from ditertiary butyl peroxide (dtBP), was studied over the temperature range of 402–433 K and the pressure range of 38–111 torr. The reaction resulted in the following displacement process taking place: where TFA refers to trifluoroacetone. The trifluoromethyl radicals that were generated abstract a hydrogen atom from the peroxide: such that k_6a is given by: where θ = 2.303RT kcal/mol. The interaction of methyl and trifluoromethyl radicals results in the following steps: Product analysis shows that k₁₇/kk = 2.0 ± 0.2 such that k₁₇ = 10^10.4±0.5M^?1 · s^?1. The rate constant k₅ is given by: It is concluded that the preexponential factor for the addition of methyl radicals to ketones is lower than that for the addition of methyl radicals to olefins.     

Der Einfluß von cis- und trans-Effekten auf den Ligandenaustausch an gemischten Hexahalogenoosmaten(IV)

Influence of Cis and Trans Effects on the Ligand Exchange of Mixed Hexahalo Osmates(IV) The 24 possible ligand exchange reactions in the system of chloro-bromo osmates(IV) are investigated by kinetic measurements. The rate constants k_HBr (trans-series) or k_HCl (cis-series) determined in 5N HBr or 5N HCl at 80°C are summarized in the following equations The influence of relative cis and trans effects of ligands and of the geometry of complexes on the rates of ligand exchange is completely described by the three parameters s, y, z. This is supported by the close agreement between calculated and experimental concentration-time diagrams. The equations characterize both consecutive and parallel reactions and permit the calculation of ratios of isomers a t any time. The relative cis-effects forC1:Br:I are about 1:1.8:7, while the trans-effects are 1:6:1000. With the set of kinetic data an equilibrium diagram is derived from which the individual stability constants of the stepwise-formed mised-ligand complexes are deduced. There is good agreement between experimental and calculated values.

The pyrolysis of dimethyl sulfide,kinetics and mechanism

The kinetics of the gas phase pyrolysis of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) was studied in a static system at 681–723 K by monitoring total pressure-time behavior. Analysis showed the pressure increase to follow DMS loss. The reaction follows two concurrent paths: with a slow, minor, secondary reaction: In a seasoned reactor the reaction follows a 3/2 order rate law with rate coefficient given by with θ = 2.303 RT in kcal/mol. A free radical mechanism is proposed to account for the data and a theoretical rate coefficient is derived from independent data: which agrees well with the experimental one over the range studied. The reaction is initiated by Me₂S → Me + MeS? and propagated by metathetical radical attack on Me₂S. C₂H₄ is formed by an isomerization reaction which may in part be due to a hot radical: Thermochemical data are listed, many from estimations, for both molecular and radical species of interest in the present system.     

Perfluorovinyl Morpholine and Perfluorovinyl Pyrrolidine with Nucleophiles and Electrophiles

In this study, both monofunctional and bifunctional nucleophiles, as well as the electrophile FNO, are reacted with perfluorovinyl amines. The perfluorovinyl amines CF?CF₂ and CF?CF₂ have been reacted with dimethylamine and diethylamine in the presence of small amounts of water to give CHFC(O)N(CH₃)₂ ( 1 ), CHFC(O)N(CH₃)₂ ( 2 ), and CHFC(O)N(C₂H₅)₂ ( 3 ). With perfluorovinyl pyrrolidine and perfluorovinyl morpholine, ethanolamine gives the cyclized products CHF ( 4 ) and CHF ( 5 ), respectively. Reaction of the vinyl amines with (CH₃)₃SiOCH₂CF₃ in the presence of catalytic amounts of CsF results in the formation of cis- ( 6 ) and trans- ( 7 ) CF?CF(OCH₂CF₃) and cis- ( 8 ) and trans- ( 9 ) CF?CF(OCH₂CF₃). The electrophile FNO reacts slowly with perfluorovinyl pyrrolidine and perfluorovinyl morpholine, and more rapidly with (CF₃)₃CCF?CF₂ to give CF(NO)CF₃ ( 10 ), CF(NO)CF₃ ( 11 ) and (CF₃)₃CF(NO)CF₃ ( 12 ), respectively. Single crystal X-ray analysis is used to confirm the identity of the product obtained from the controlled hydrolysis of the sultone of perfluorovinyl pyrrolidine as the sulfonic acid anhydride C(O)CF₂OS(O)₂OCF₂C(O) ( 13 ). The X-ray crystal structure of perfluorosuccinic acid monohydrate ( 14 ), which is obtained when the perfluorovinyl pyrrolidine sultone is hydrolyzed in excess water, is also reported for the first time.
