The thermal denitrogenation rates (k) of a series of 7,7-dimethoxy-1,4-diaryl-2,3-diazabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene derivatives 2 with a variety of aryl groups (p-CNC6H4, C6H5, p-MeC6H4, p-MeOC6H4) were determined to investigate the denitrogenation mechanism. A linear correlation (r = 0.988) between the relative rate-constant (log krel) of the denitrogenation reaction and Arnold’s σα• parameter for benzylic-type radical-stabilization was observed. However, the relative rate-constant was not correlated with the substituent effect on the lifetime of the resulting singlet diradicals DR2. These results indicate that the rate-determining step of denitrogenation of 7,7-dimethoxy-2,3-diazabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene derivatives involves stepwise C–N bond cleavage.

Three distinct four-component supramolecular nanorotors were prepared, using, for the first time, bipyridine instead of phenanthroline stations in the stator. Following our established self-sorting protocol to multicomponent nanodevices, the nanorotors were self-assembled by mixing the stator, rotators with various pyridine head groups, copper(I) ions and 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO). Whereas the exchange of a phenanthroline vs. a bipyridine station did not entail significant changes in the rotational exchange frequency, the para-substituents at the pyridine head group of the rotator had drastic consequences on the speed: 4-OMe (k298 = 35 kHz), 4-H (k298 = 77 kHz) and 4-NO2 (k298 = 843 kHz). The exchange frequency (log k) showed an excellent linear correlation with both the Hammett substituent constants and log K of the copper(I)–ligand interaction, proving that rotator–copper(I) bond cleavage is the key determining factor in the rate-determining step.

Rate constant expressions have been obtained for ethyl acetate and ethyl-d5 acetate in the temperature ranges 500–603 °C and 501–614 °C.[Formula: see text]By measuring the relative rate of production of C2H4 and C2D4 from identical mixtures of the two esters at the temperatures 387 and 490 °C, it has been possible to determine the temperature coefficient of the relative rate constant more accurately. This, coupled with the relative rate constants at 500 °C derived from the above equations, gives the relative rate constant expression.[Formula: see text]These data are compared with the intramolecular isotope effect in the decomposition of ethyl-1,1,2,2-d4 acetate, and the differences attributed to secondary isotope effects.The rate of decomposition of ethyl acetate-d3 was found to be identical within experimental error with that of the normal acetate.

So2 Removal

Abstract. Isoprene is the dominant global biogenic volatile organic compound (VOC) emission. Reactions of isoprene with ozone are known to form stabilised Criegee intermediates (SCIs), which have recently been shown to be potentially important oxidants for SO2 and NO2 in the atmosphere; however the significance of this chemistry for SO2 processing (affecting sulfate aerosol) and NO2 processing (affecting NOx levels) depends critically upon the fate of the SCI with respect to reaction with water and decomposition. Here, we have investigated the removal of SO2 in the presence of isoprene and ozone, as a function of humidity, under atmospheric boundary layer conditions. The SO2 removal displays a clear dependence on relative humidity, confirming a significant reaction for isoprene derived SCI with H2O. Under excess SO2 conditions, the total isoprene ozonolysis SCI yield was calculated to be 0.56 (±0.03). The observed SO2 removal kinetics are consistent with a relative rate constant, k(SCI + H2O)/k(SCI + SO2), of 5.4 (±0.8) × 10−5 for isoprene derived SCI. The relative rate constant for k(SCI decomposition)/k(SCI + SO2) is 8.4 (±5.0) × 1010 cm−3. Uncertainties are ±2σ and represent combined systematic and precision components. These kinetic parameters are based on the simplification that a single SCI species is formed in isoprene ozonolysis, an approximation which describes the results well across the full range of experimental conditions. Our data indicate that isoprene-derived SCIs are unlikely to make a substantial contribution to gas-phase SO2 oxidation in the troposphere. We also present results from an analogous set of experiments, which show a clear dependence of SO2 removal in the isoprene-ozone system as a function of dimethyl sulfide concentration. We propose that this behaviour arises from a rapid reaction between isoprene-derived SCI and DMS; the observed SO2 removal kinetics are consistent with a relative rate constant, k(SCI + DMS)/k(SCI + SO2), of 4.1 (±2.2). This result suggests that SCIs may contribute to the oxidation of DMS in the atmosphere and that this process could therefore influence new particle formation in regions impacted by emissions of unsaturated hydrocarbons and DMS.

GLC Analysis of decomposition products of dicumyl peroxide has been used for determination of relative rate constant of hydrogen transfer of cumyloxyl radicals with tetrakis(allyloxymethyl)-methane. This constant is 15 times higher than that with 2,2,4-trimethylpentane. In the reaction an only small portion of the oxyl radicals (up to 15% of total amount) is consumed by addition to allyl groups of the monomer even when a great excess of the latter is present in the reaction mixture.

The thermal decomposition of cyclobutanone into cyclopropane and carbon monoxide has been shown to occur simultaneously with the major decomposition to ethylene and ketene. The relative rate constant expression is given by [Formula: see text] Both reactions are pressure sensitive below 10 Torr and this quasi-unimolecular behavior is most pronounced in the cyclopropane forming reaction, consistent with the higher activation energy. The data are also discussed in relation to the photochemical decomposition and it is shown that cyclopropane formation from the ground singlet is an important feature of the photolysis at 3130 Å.

The relative rate constant expression has been obtained for the decomposition of ethyl-1,1,2,2-d4 bromide under inhibiting conditions in the temperature range 697.6 to 999.1 °K,[Formula: see text]The pressure dependence of the isotope effect has been investigated both with and without inhibitor, and in each case it has been shown that the isotope effect increases with decreasing pressure.The relative rate constant expression for the ethyl-h5, ethyl-d5 bromide comparison was also obtained in the temperature range 730.9 to 964.8 °K,[Formula: see text]The isotope effect is again pressure dependent, falling to lower values as the pressure is decreased.The data are used to demonstrate that the inhibited decomposition of ethyl bromide is primarily a molecular process, and that the rate-controlling step involves a carbon–hydrogen bond break.A side reaction that produces small amounts of ethane has been observed.
