Temperature dependence of pentyl nitrate formation from the reaction of pentyl peroxy radicals with NO

Alkyl nitrate yields from the reaction of 1-pentyl, 2-pentyl and 2-methyl-2-butyl peroxy radicals with NO have been determined over the temperature range (261-305 K) and at 1 bar pressure from the photo-oxidation of the iodoalkane precursors in air-NO mixtures. Yields were observed to increase with decreasing temperature and, contrary to previous observations, along the series primary secondary ? tertiary. Our results suggests a significant temperature dependence for the formation of nitrates from the reaction of pentyl peroxy radicals with NO and represent an extension in the temperature range over which this reaction has been studied experimentally in the past. the Owner Societies.

Determination and interpretation of second order rate constants for the addition of hydrogen halides to alkenes

An extensive range of second order rate constants for the addition of hydrogen halides to alkenes in 98% v/v ethanoic acid (acetic acid)-water have been obtained by conductivity measurements. The rate constants are in the expected order of HF HCl HBr HI. The rates with different alkenes cannot be rationalised solely by a consideration of carbocation stability and it has been necessary to consider steric effects in order to explain the observed order.

Convenient, in situ generation of anhydrous hydrogen iodide for the preparation of α-glycosyl iodides and vicinal lodohydrins and for the catalysis of Ferrier glycosylation

(matrix presented) Anhydrous hydrogen iodide is generated in situ by the reaction of solid iodine and a thiol. The HI thus generated has been employed for the efficient preparation of α-glycosyl iodides and vicinal iodohydrins from the corresponding glycosyl acetates and epoxides, respectively, and for Ferrier glycosylation of alcohols and thiols.
