Hydrogen cyanide was the main product of the reaction of hydrogen atoms with formamide vapor; its rate of production was fairly rapid and completely independent of reaction temperature over a wide range. If a hydrogen is abstracted from formamide it must be one of the hydrogens bonded to nitrogen. The results of this investigation suggest the possibility of another free radical chain mechanism, which does not involve hydrogen atoms, for the thermal decomposition of formamide vapor.

The metal ion catalyzed chlorination of 1-chlorobutane, 1-chlorohexane, methyl-pentanoate, and methyl-heptanoate by protonated N-chloroamines proceeds by a free radical chain mechanism and the chain carrying species was shown not to be a chlorine atom, but an amino radical cation.



Kinetic and analytical studies of the gaseous oxidation of aluminium trimethyl at ambient temperatures and at pressures well below those required for spontaneous ignition have shown that, in contrast to the oxidations of less electron-deficient metal alkyls, no peroxides can be detected and no volatile oxygenated organic compounds are formed. Methane, traces of hydrogen and a solid methoxymethyl compound of aluminium are the only products. The initial rate of reaction is approximately proportional to the first power of the alkyl pressure and to the square of the oxygen pressure; it is little influenced by temperature or by inert gases but is lowered by an increase in surface. The observed kinetic and analytical results can be accounted for in terms of a free radical chain mechanism in which termination takes place predominantly at the walls.

A thermodynamical argument is used to support the suggestion made elsewhere that the more common radical chain mechanism for catalysed decomposition of H2O2 need not predominate if the catalyst can readily undergo a reversible 2-electron oxidation. How complete the exclusion of free radical formation may be depends upon the redox characteristics of the catalyst and on whether its oxidation by two single-electron steps is readily reversible along the same path.

Hydrogen atoms produced in a discharge tube were found to react with methyl cyanide to produce hydrogen cyanide as the main product, together with smaller amounts of methane and ethane. The proposed mechanism involves the formation of hydrogen cyanide and a methyl radical in the initial step; methane and ethane are attributed to secondary reactions of the methyl radicals.
