The Rice-Herzfeld free-radical mechanism for the thermal decomposition of saturated hydrocarbons, including both the uninhibited reaction and that partially inhibited by nitric oxide, involves the rate constants of various individual steps. If standard values are assumed for the rate constants of H -abstraction from n -pentane by methyl radicals, alkyl radical recombination, and addition of methyl to nitric oxide, then those of all the steps for a series of paraffins can be found. The method depends on measurements of the rate constant in the region where the chain reaction is of the first order, the inhibitory action of nitric oxide as a function of paraffin pressure, and the acceleration of paraffin decomposition rate produced by high pressures of nitric oxide. Values are derived for propane, three pentanes ( neo -, iso - and normal pentane) and three octanes ( normal octane, 2:3:4-trimethyl pentane and 2:2:4-trimethyl pentane), and the variations of the several rate constants with structure are discussed.

Unlike C-N bond formation with classical dirhodium(II)-nitrenoids as the key intermediate, dirhodium(II)-catalyzed 1,2-and 1,3-diamination reactions are realized by a free radical mechanism. A mechanistic study revealed that the reactions undergo...
