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).

Kinetics of Cl(2PJ) Reactions with the Chloroethanes CH3CH2Cl, CH3CHCl2, CH2ClCH2Cl and CH2ClCHCl2

The kinetics of the reactions Cl(2PJ) + RHCl -> RCl + HCl were investigated over the temperature range 257-426 K for RHCl = CH3CH2Cl (k2), CH3CHCl2 (k3), CH2ClCH2Cl (k4), and CH2ClCHCl2 (k5).Cl(2PJ) was produced by 355 nm pulsed laser photolysis of Cl2 and monitored by time-resolved resonance fluorescence spectroscopy.The data are adequately described by the following Arrhenius expressions (units are cm3 molecule-1 s-1, errors are 2? and refer to precision only): k2=(2.34+/-0.42)E-11exp, k3=(8.19+/-1.84)E-12exp,k4=(2.21+/-0.51)E-11exp, and k5=(4.88+/-1.41)E-12exp.Under some experimental conditions evidence for Cl(2PJ) regeneration via a secondary reaction was observed.At 258+/-1 K, deviations of Cl(2PJ) temporal profiles from first-order behavior were attributable to the reactions RCl + Cl2 -> RCl2 + Cl(2PJ)(kj).By modeling the observed C(2PJ) temporal profiles, we found the rate constant kj to lie in the range (5-12)E-14 cm3 molecule-1 s-1 for all RCl investigated.The reactivity trends observed in reactions of Cl2PJ) with C2HXCl(6-x), x=3-6, are discussed.

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.
