Simple Mechanism

Kinetic studies have been made of the isomerization of butene-2 and 1,2-ethylene-d2 catalyzed by thiyl radicals produced from the photolysis of methanethiol. The rate of isomerization was found to be first order with respect to both the olefin and [Formula: see text] concentrations. The lack of influence of pressure on the reaction rate, at pressures above about 4 mm, leads to a simple mechanism in which isomerization is considered to occur as a result of thermal decomposition of the collisionally stabilized adduct radical produced in the reaction [Formula: see text]. The rate constants for this attack step were found to be 2 × 107 and 4.8 × 106 l mole−1 s−1 for butene-2 and ethylene-d2, respectively. In both cases the activation energy for isomerization was found to be close to zero. From a kinetic study of the isomerization of cis-butene-2 in the presence of butadiene-1,3, which acts as a retarder, the attack constant for butadiene at 25 °C was found to be 4.5 × 108 l mole−1 s−1.

The kinetics of TBBPA degradation by ozonation in semi-batch reactor was studied. The reaction rate constants of TBBPA with O3 and •OH were measured by means of direct ozone attack and competition kinetics, and the values of which were 6.10 l/(mol•s), 4.8×109 l/(mol•s), respectively. Results of kinetic studies showed that TBBPA degradation by ozonation under the different conditions tested followed the pseudo-first-order. The values of apparent rate constant of TBBPA degradation increased with the increase of ozone dosage and pH, but decreased with the increase of initial TBBPA concentration.

Homogeneous Decomposition

The thermal decomposition of methyl hydroperoxide has been studied in solution and in the gas phase. The decomposition was found to be partly heterogeneous in solution in dimethyl phthalate and no reliable rate constants were obtained. Use of the toluene carrier method for the gas phase work enabled measurement of the rate constant for the homogeneous decomposition. The first order rate constants obtained range from 0.19 s−1 at 292 °C to 1.5 s−1 at 378 °C, leading to log A, 11± 2, and activation energy, 32 ± 5 kcal/mole. These results are compared with the expected values of log A, 13–14, and activation energy, 42 kcal/mole. The significance of these findings is discussed.

Good Agreement

The uninhibited ethane decomposition was studied from 550 to 640°C with the object of determining the overall mechanism. The reaction was found to be accurately of the first order at the higher pressures and lower temperatures employed, and to have an activation energy of 73·1 kcal under these conditions. The rate was decreased slightly by an increase in surface area, and the order was then somewhat greater than unity. At 640°C there was a transition to an order of 3/2 at a pressure of about 60 mm. Evidence is adduced in support of the conclusion that the initiating reaction is a second-order split of C 2 H 6 into 2CH 3 , as proposed by Küchler & Theile, and that the terminating step is C 2 H 5 + C 2 H 5 at the higher pressures and H + C 2 H 5 at the lower ones. The mechanism is shown to give a satisfactory interpretation of the time-course of the reaction, of the effects of adding ethylene and hydrogen, and of the effect of increasing the surface area. Calculated rates, using the rate constants for the elementary steps, are in good agreement with experiment.

Kinetic studies have been made of the addition of methanethiol to ethylene, propylene, and butene-2. The results obtained are consistent with the mechanism postulated for the isomerization reaction (1). The overall activation energy was found to be negative and could be explained in terms of two competing reactions of the adduct radical: thermal decomposition leading to [Formula: see text] and olefin and dehydrogenation of thiol yielding addition product. Only the ratio of the rate constants for these two reactions could be determined. The method of intermittent illumination was used to evaluate the termination rate constant for the combination of two [Formula: see text] radicals which was found to be (2.5 ± 0.7) × 1010 l mole−1 s−1.

Polymer Conversion

A kinetic study of HTPB synthesis by radical polymerization of butadiene with hydrogen peroxide initiator was conducted using infrared spectroscopy. HTPB conversion was determined based on the conjunction termination rate constant, and all polymerization kinetics were evaluated to identify the constant. All polymerization steps (decomposition, initiation, propagation, conjunction, and proportional termination) can be evaluated based on polymer conversion and functionality from data provided by infrared spectroscopy. The investigation variables included the initial molar ratio of initiator to monomer (H2O2/butadiene) and the reaction temperature. These steps were assumed as the first-order reactions, giving constant reaction rates of kd, ka, kp, kt, ktc, and ktd. The reaction rates obtained for these constants were 4.2 × 10–5 sec–1, 8.9 × 10–4, 7.7 × 103, 8.5 × 107, 3.2 × 107 and 5.3 × 107 L mol–1 sec–1, respectively, with activation energy of 7608, 14188, 2247, 105, 87 and 135 kJ mol–1, respectively. The determining step of the reaction rate was identified as the initiation reaction. HTPB conversion can be measured if all polymerization kinetics constants have been evaluated.

A study on palm oil transesterification to evaluate the effect of some parameters in the reaction on the reaction kinetics has been carried out. Transesterification was started by preparing potassium methoxide from potassium hydroxide and methanol and then mixed it with the palm oil. An aliquot was taken at certain time interval during transesterification and poured into test tube filled with distilled water to stop the reaction immediately. The oil phase that separated from the glycerol phase by centrifugation was analyzed by 1H-NMR spectrometer to determine the percentage of methyl ester conversion. Temperature and catalyst concentration were varied in order to determine the reaction rate constants, activation energies, pre-exponential factors, and effective collisions. The results showed that palm oil transesterification in methanol with 0.5 and 1 % w/w KOH/palm oil catalyst concentration appeared to follow pseudo-first order reaction. The rate constants increase with temperature. After 13 min of reaction, More methyl esters were formed using KOH 1 % than using 0.5 % w/w KOH/palm oil catalyst concentration. The activation energy (Ea) and pre-exponential factor (A) for reaction using 1 % w/w KOH was lower than those using 0.5 % w/w KOH.   Keywords: palm oil, transesterification, catalyst, first order kinetics, activation energy, pre-exponential factor

First order rate constants of the reaction of a series of SH-, imidazole- and imidazole/SH-compounds with FDNB as well as their pH- and temperature dependence were determined. Some of the tested imidazole/SH-compounds exhibit a higher nucleophilic reactivity as is expected on the basis of their pKSH-values. This enhanced reactivity is caused by an activation of the SH-groups by a neighbouring imidazole residue. The pH-independent rate constants were calculated using the Lindley equation.The kinetics of DNP-transfer from DNP-imidazole to SH-compounds were investigated. The pH-dependence of the reaction displays a maximum curve. Donor in this reaction is the DNP-imidazolecation and acceptor the thiolate anion.The reaction rate of FDNB with imidazole derivatives is two to three orders of magnitude slower than with SH-compounds.No inter- or intra-molecular transfer of the DNP-residue from sulfure to imidazole takes place.

The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide vapour has been investigated at low pressures (5 to 6 mm.) in the temperature range 50° to 420 °C., for the purpose of determining the effect of the nature and treatment of the active surfaces. The reaction was followed in an all-glass apparatus and, except in one case, with one-litre round flasks as reaction vessels. Soft glass, Pyrex, quartz, and metallized surfaces variously treated were used. In most cases the decomposition was found to be mainly of the first order but the rates varied markedly from one vessel to another, even with vessels made of the same type of glass. On a quartz surface the decomposition was preceded by an induction period at low temperatures. Fusing the glass vessels slowed the reaction considerably and increased its apparent activation energy; this effect was destroyed by acid washing. Attempts to poison the surface with hydrocyanic acid gave no noticeable result. The marked importance of surface effects at all temperatures is considered as an indication that the reaction was predominantly heterogeneous under the prevailing conditions. Values ranging from 8 to 20 kcal. were found for the apparent energy of activation. It is concluded that the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide vapour is not very specific as far as the nature of the catalyst is concerned.

Twelve Δ3-1,3,4-oxadiazolines in which C-2 is also C-4 of a β-lactam moiety (spiro-fused β-lactam oxadiazoline system) were thermolyzed as solutions in benzene. Substituents in the β-lactam portion affect the rate constant for thermal decomposition of the oxadiazolines to N2, acetone, and a β-lactam-4-ylidene. The total spread of first-order rate constants at 100 °C was 47-fold and the average value was 6.7 × 10−4 s−1. A phenyl substituent at N-1 or at C-3 was found to be rate enhancing, relative to methyl. At C-3, H and Cl were also rate enhancing, relative to methyl. The data are interpreted in terms of the differential effects of substituents on the stabilities of the ground states, and on the stabilities of corresponding transition states for concerted, suprafacial, [4π + 2π] cycloreversion. The first products, presumably formed irreversibly, are N2 and a carbonyl ylide. The latter subsequently fragments to form acetone (quantitative) and a β-lactam-4-ylidene.
