The kinetics of autoxidation of linoleic acid in dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) bilayers were studied at 30 °C and pH 7 under 760 Torr O2. Reactions were initiated using either the lipid-soluble di-tert-butylhyponitrite (DBHN) or water-soluble azobis(2-amidinopropane)•HCl (ABAP). Rates of chain initiation, Ri, were measured with a lipid-soluble antioxidant, a-tocopherol, or a water-soluble one, 6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchroman-2-carboxylate (Trolox). The slightly higher oxidizability obtained [Formula: see text] compared to methyl linoleate in chlorobenzene [Formula: see text] is attributed to a moderate polar solvent effect on ionized linoleate near the bilayer surface. A low initiator efficiency, e = 0.0895 for DBHN in DMPC, is attributed to the cage effect in the bilayer of high microviscosity. Similar autoxidation experiments on methyl linoleate in DMPC bilayers gave a lower oxidizability [Formula: see text], indicating that the ester is sequestered deeper in the hydrophobic region of DMPC than is ionized linoleate. Some absolute rate constants are determined using the rotating sector technique for linoleic acid in 0.50 M SDS micelles, and egg lecithin and dilinoleoylphosphatidylcholine (DLPC) bilayers. A hundredfold decrease in the termination rate constant, 2kt for DLPC bilayer compared to homogeneous solution is attributed to chain termination in a bilayer region of high polarity. A concomitant reduction (up to tenfold) in the propagation rate constant, kp, is attributed to diffusion of polar peroxyl radicals away from the oxidizable region of the bilayer.

Absolute rate constants for the copolymerization of α-methylstyrene and oxygen have been measured from 13 to 50 °C. The propagation and termination rate constants can be represented by[Formula: see text]Experiments with 2,6-di-t-butyl-4-methylphenol at 65 °C have shown that C6H5C(CH3):CH2 and C6H5C(CD3):CD2 have the same propagation rate constant but that chain termination involves a deuterium isotope effect (kt)H/(kt)D ≈ 1.5.Absolute rate constants for the copolymerization of oxygen with β-methylstyrene and with indene at 30 °C showed that a significant fraction of the oxidation chains were terminated by a kinetically first order process (rate constant kx). The rate constants for β-methylstyrene and indene at 30 °C are kp = 51 and 142 l mole−1 s−1, kt = 1.6 × 107 and 2.5 × 107 l mole−1 s−1, and kx = 0.61 and 1.2 s−1, respectively. The propagation rate constant for indene can be separated into a rate constant for the copolymerization with oxygen (kadd = 128 l mole−1 s−1) and a rate constant for hydrogen atom abstraction (kabstr = 14 l mole−1 s−1). In the presence of heavy water the first order process for indene had a deuterium isotope effect (kx)/(kx)D2O ≈ 3.

Diffusion studies show that benzophenone (BP), linoleic acid, and methyl linoleate partition completely into the micelles of phosphate buffer/0.10 M SDS. Water-soluble compounds 4-sulphomethylbenzophenone, sodium salt (BP−), azobis(2-amidinopropane•HCl) (ABAP) and 2,5,7,8-tetramethyl-6-hydroxychroman-2-carboxylate (Trolox) show partial partitioning into the micelles. BP- and BP−-photosensitized oxidation of linoleic acid in 0.50 M SDS exhibited characteristics of free radical chain reactions including: (1) inhibition by phenolic antioxidants, (2) no retardation by singlet oxygen quenchers, and (3) the formation of conjugated hydroperoxides with cis,trans to trans,trans ratios of geometrical isomers typical of autoxidation. Quantitative kinetic studies of the order in substrate, RH, and the rate of chain initiation, Ri, show that the classical rate law, −d[O2]/dt = kp/2kt1/2[RH]Ri1/2 applies to BP-photoinitiated autoxidation of linoleic acid in SDS and the oxidizability (kp/2kt1/2 = 4.42 × 10−2 M−1/2 s−1/2) is the same as that found with a thermal initiator. The rotating sector method gave absolute rate constants for linoleic acid autoxidation in 0.50 M SDS for propagation (kp = 36.2 M−1 s−1) and termination (2kt = 3.52 × 105 M−1 s−1), significantly lower than values in polar organic solvents; attributed to solvation of polar peroxyls in aqueous SDS. Depressed inhibition rate constants (kinh) for α-tocopherol, Trolox, and pentamefhylhydroxychroman (PMHC) in 0.50 M SDS compared to kinh in tert-butyl alcohol are attributed to hydrogen bonding effects on the peroxyl radicals and on the inhibitors.

Product Study

The major initial products of the self-reaction of α-tetralylperoxyls (C10H11O2•) in chlorobenzene at 303–353 K are equal concentrations of α-tetralol and α-tetralone in ~90% yield based on the number of initiating radicals. These yields are consistent with the non-radical (Russell) mechanism for self-reaction. Low concentrations of bis(α-tetralyl) peroxide are produced, indicating that there is a small but detectable free-radical contribution towards termination. C10H11O2• undergoes β-scission in this temperature range but steady-state concentrations of C10H11• are too low to influence the termination rate constant 2kt, or react with C10H11O2• to give (C10H11O2. α-Tetralol to α-tetralone ratios and total yields of these products are significantly less than 1 and 100%, respectively, in methanol and acetonitrile. Formaldehyde is produced in methanol indicating the involvement of α-hydroxymethylperoxyls, derived from the solvent, in termination. There is no evidence for a chain reaction or a zwitterion intermediate for self-reaction of C10H11O2• in solution.

Propagation and termination rate constants have been measured for autoxidation of benzyl phenyl ether, benzyl-t-butyl ether, isopropyl ether, and benzyl ether. In the case of isopropyl ether and benzyl ether, estimates have been made of inter- and intramolecular propagation rate constants. Reactivities of acyclic ethers towards the t-butylperoxy radical have been determined. Rate constants for autoxidation of cyclic and acylic ethers have been summarized and compared.

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.

The radical induced decomposition of several t-hydroperoxides at 30° has been studied. In the self reaction of t-alkylperoxy radicals the ratio of the rates of alkoxy radical diffusion from the cage to combination in the cage is essentially independent of the size of the t-alkyl group.The rate constant for abstraction from hydroperoxides of the hydroperoxidic hydrogen by alkoxy radicals is about 4 × 106 M−1 s−1 at 30°. This reaction has a deuterium isotope effect, kH/kD ≈ 5.The 1,1-diphenylethoxy radical undergoes a 1,2-phenyl shift to yield the 1-phenyl-1-phenoxyethyl radical more rapidly that it undergoes β-scission.

Abstract. The absolute rate constant for the reaction that is the major source of stratospheric NOx, O(1D)+N2O → products, has been determined in the temperature range 227 K to 719 K, and, in the temperature range 248 K to 600 K, the fraction of the reaction that yields O(3P). Both the rate constants and product yields were determined using a recently-developed chemiluminescence technique for monitoring O(1D) that allows for higher precision determinations for both rate constants, and, particularly, O(3P) yields, than do other methods. We found the rate constant, kR1, to be essentially independent of temperature between 400 K and 227 K, having a value of (1.37±0.11)×10−10 cm3 s−1, and for temperatures greater than 450 K a marked decrease in rate constant was observed, with a rate constant of only (0.94±0.11)×10−10 cm3 s−1 at 719 K. The rate constants determined over the 227 K–400 K range show very low scatter and are significantly greater, by 20% at room temperature and 15% at 227 K, than the current recommended values. The fraction of O(3P) produced in this reaction was determined to be 0.002±0.002 at 250 K rising steadily to 0.010±0.004 at 600 K, thus the channel producing O(3P) can be entirely neglected in atmospheric kinetic modeling calculations. A further result of this study is an expression of the relative quantum yields as a function of temperature for the chemiluminescence reactions (kCL1)C2H + O(1D) → CH(A) + CO and (kCL2)C2H + O(3P) → CH(A) + CO, both followed by CH(A) → CH(X) + hν, as kCL1(T)/kCL2(T)=(32.8T−3050)/(6.29T+398).

A detailed study has been made of the products of the reaction of hydrogen atoms with propylene. A discharge-flow system at 290±3 K was used. Total pressures in the range 4 to 16 Torr (550 to 2200 N m -2 ) of argon were used and the flow rates of hydrogen atoms and propylene ranged individually up to about 12 μ mol s -1 . As found by others the main products are methane, ethane, ethylene, propane and isobutane. Trivial amounts of 2,3-dimethylbutane, but no n-butane, were detected. A detailed mechanism accounting adequately for the reaction is proposed. It is confirmed that formation of the vibrationally excited species, i-C 3 H 7 *, is the predominant primary process. Novel processes which are shown to be important are H+i-C 3 H 7 * → CH 3 +C 2 H 5 and, C 3 H 8 * → CH 4 +C 2 H 4 . A number of rate constant ratios have been evaluated from the data and these allow calculation of absolute rate constants of some individual reactions. The agreement with previously reported values is, in most instances, good.
