Absolute rate constants for abstraction of chlorine from three chlorinating agents by alkyl radicals

Using the cyclopropylcarbinyl -> homoallyl free radical clock, absolute rate constants for the abstraction of chlorine from molecular chlorine (Cl2), tert-butyl hypochlorite (ButOCl) and N-chloro-3,3-dimethylglutarimide (NCG) have been determined (kCl2=3.0*1010, kButOCl=2.6*109 and kNCG=3.6*107, all in 1 mol-1s-1).

Free Radical Substitution. Part 37. The Effect of Solvent on the Atomic Chlorination of 1-Substituted Butanes and Related Compounds

Experimental results reported in this paper show that the relative selectivity of atomic chlorination of 1-substituted butanes and related compounds is greatly influenced by the phase and by solvents.Solvents can be divided into three classes: (a) inert, (b) solvents which decrease the selectivity, and (c) solvents which increase the selectivity.The second group solvate the transition state and the third group solvate the chlorine atoms.
