The general methods, photoinitiated or peroxide-initiated free radical chain additions of halomethanes to olefins, yield 1,2-addition products at temperatures ranging from 20 to 100°C. At lower temperatures, -42 to -104°C, a competitive reaction, subsequent to the addition of CCl2X., yields alkylcyclopropanes. The reactions of 1-octene or 1-hexene and 1-methylcyclohexene with atomic hydrogen carried out in the presence of several transfer agents (CCl4, CCl3Br, CCl2Br2) initiate a radical chain addition of CCl2X. and yield cyclized materials resulting from the SHi displacement of halogen by a carbon-centered radical. The radical displacement of a halogen on carbon, the reverse of homolytic displacement on cyclopropyl carbon, is dominant at low temperatures. The rate constants for cyclization (kc) vs transfer with halomethane (kt) showed isokinetic temperatures of -46°C (CCl4, 1-hexene); -35°C (CCl4, 1-methylcyclohexene). The isokinetic temperatures for the reactions of the two substrates carried out in the presence of BrCCl3 were calculated as -204 °C (1-octene) and -109°C (1-methylcyclohexene).
