Rate constants have been measured for hydrogen abstraction from four aralkanes and addition to two aralkenes by five secondary and one primary peroxy radical. These rate constants appear to show a slight dependence on the structure of the attacking peroxy radicals which may be due to the inductive effects of the substituents on the radical. The secondary and primary peroxy radicals are generally about 2–4 times more reactive than tertiary peroxy radicals in abstraction and 4–8 times more reactive in addition. The lower reactivity of tertiary peroxy radicals is probably due to steric factors.

Absolute rate constants have been measured for the reactions of cumylperoxy radicals with a number of hydrocarbons. The cumylperoxy radicals were produced from cumene hydroperoxide. Sufficient hydroperoxide was present to ensure that only cumylperoxy radicals were involved in the rate-determining propagation reaction.Primary and secondary deuterium isotope effects have been measured for propagation and termination in the oxidation of cumene. The rate of hydrogen atom abstraction from ring-substituted cumenes by cumylperoxy radicals can be correlated by the Hammett equation using σ+ substituent constants, ρ = −0.29. Primary and secondary peroxy radicals are about 3–5 times more reactive in hydrogen abstraction than tertiary peroxy radicals.

Absolute Rate

Absolute rate constants have been measured for the autoxidation of a large number of hydrocarbons at 30 °C. The chain-propagating and chain-terminating rate constants depend on the structure of the hydrocarbon and also on the structure of the chain-carrying peroxy radical. With certain notable exceptions which are mainly due to steric hindrance, the rate constants for hydrogen-atom abstraction increase in the order primary < secondary < tertiary; and, for compounds losing a secondary hydrogen atom, the rate constants increase in the order unactivated < acyclic activated by a single π-electron system < cyclic activated by a single Π-system < acyclic activated by two π-systems < cyclic activated by two π-systems. The rate constants for chain termination by the self-reaction of two peroxy radicals generally increase in the order tertiary peroxy radicals < acyclic allylic secondary  [Formula: see text] cyclic secondary  [Formula: see text] acyclic benzylic secondary < primary peroxy radicals < hydroperoxy radicals.

Rate Constants For Addition

Absolute propagation and termination rate constants have been determined for the autoxidation of some vinyl compounds at 30°. Rates of propagation depend on the structure of both the peroxy radical and the vinyl compound. The reactivity of peroxy radicals towards addition increases as the electron-withdrawing capacity of the α-substituent increases. Rate constants for addition of t-butylperoxy radicals to vinyl compounds, [Formula: see text] fit the equation[Formula: see text]where Es is the estimated stabilization energy of the β-peroxyalkyl radical (in kcal/mol) formed in the addition reaction.

The Stability

Rate constants have been measured for the chain-terminating self-reactions of six tertiary peroxy radicals. The rate constants vary from ~ 1 × 103 M−1 s−1 for t-butylperoxy to ~ 6 × 104 M−1 s−1 for 1,1-diphenylethylperoxy radicals. It is suggested that the variation in the rate constants may be related to differences in the stability of the alkoxy radical products of tetroxide decomposition.Rate constants for hydrogen atom abstraction from aralkanes by tertiary peroxy radicals do not seem to be significantly affected by the structure of the attacking radical.In solution the triphenylmethylperoxy radical probably exists in equilibrium with the triphenylmethyl radical and oxygen. Chain termination in oxidations involving the triphenylmethylperoxy radical as the chain carrier occurs by the reaction of this radical with a triphenylmethyl radical.

Oxidation System

The photo-induced co-oxidation of liquid benzaldehyde and decanal mixtures has been investigated as representative of a co-oxidation system of two components. The kinetics of the reaction clearly show that these aldehydes do not separately oxidize; instead, both molecules are involved in a single kinetic chain. The system is analogous to that encountered in copolymerization. By analysis of the aldehyde ratio during oxidation the relative reactivity of the two aldehydes to a given peroxy radical may be determined. Utilizing the rate constants for the oxidation of the individual aldehydes, the absolute rate constants for the four propagation steps in the co-oxidation system can be calculated. By making use of the retarder technique the rate of initiation of oxidation has been determined as a function of aldehyde composition. The measurement of the overall rate of oxidation makes it possible to determine the cross-reaction coefficient for the interaction of the peroxy radicals. A so-called Φ value for this coefficient is 4.

Tert Butyl Hydroperoxide

Rate constants for abstraction of secondary and tertiary hydrogens from structurally different alkanes by the tert-butylperoxy radical in solution at 30 °C have been determined by competitive experiments in the presence of tert-butyl hydroperoxide. Rate constants fall in the range 1 × 10−4to 9 × 10−4and 1 × 10−3–2 × 10−2 M−1 s−1 for secondary and tertiary aliphatic C—H bonds, respectively. The most reactive secondary hydrogen is, therefore, almost as reactive as the least reactive tertiary hydrogen. Differences in reactivity within a type of aliphatic C—H bond are governed by differences in steric hindrance to attack by the peroxy radical and by relief of steric strain upon removal of the labile hydrogen. Rate constants for reaction of perdeuterated methylcyclohexane and 3-methylpentane are much smaller than the values calculated from the maximum primary kinetic isotope effect for this reaction.

Termination Process

The effect of deuterium substitution on the absolute rate constants for the bimolecular chain termination process in the oxidation of styrene indicates that the α-hydrogen is abstracted in this reaction. The first order chain termination process is suppressed both by deuteration of styrene at the α-position and by the addition of heavy water. A possible mechanism for this termination is proposed. There appear to be small secondary deuterium isotope effects in the propagation reaction.The overall oxidation rates and the propagation rate constants are increased by the addition to the aromatic ring of both electron-attracting and electron-releasing substituents. This is attributed in the former case to the increased stability of the resulting styryl radicals and in the latter case to the increased stability of a dipolar transition state. In hydrogen atom abstraction from 2,6-di-t-butyl-4-methylphenol, the peroxy radical from 3-chlorostyrene is more reactive than that from styrene which, in turn, is more reactive than the peroxy radical from 4-methoxy-styrene.

Salts of one isomeric series of chlorobenzylaminebis(ethylenediamine)- cobalt-(III) type of cations have been prepared using a variety of benzylamine derivatives as ligands. They are tentatively assigned a cis-configuration on the basis of their visible spectra. The first- order rate constants for their solvolytic aquation have been measured. Both resonance contributions and steric factors from the benzyl radical, as well as inductive effects of its substituents, all have negligibly small influences on the rate of reaction. The second-order rate constants for the hydrolysis of these cations by base have also been determined. The labilizing powers of the benzylamine ligands in this reaction are very similar to those of open-chain aliphatic amines, and significantly different from those of aromatic amines. To see if reactivities depend on the distance of separation between cobalt and the benzene ring, the experiments are extended to the chloro(β- phenylethylamine)bis(ethylenediamine)cobalt(III) type of complexes.
