Free Radical Process

The major products of the self-reaction of 1,1-diphenylethylperoxyl have been determined from product studies of the autoxidation of 1,1-diphenylethane, induced decomposition of 1,1-diphenylethyl hydroperoxide, and decomposition of 2,2,3,3-tetraphenylbutane under an atmosphere of oxygen. Overall self-reaction is a complex free-radical process involving the intermediacy of 1,1-diphenylethoxyl and 1-phenyl-1-phenoxyethoxyl which undergo H-atom abstraction, β-scission and, in the case of the former radical, rearrangement. Hydroperoxide decomposition under an atmosphere of 36O2 has shown that 1,1-diphenylethylperoxyl undergoes β-scission faster than α-cumylperoxyl at 303 K in solution. The values of the rate constants for self-reaction of Ph2C(Me)O2• relative to those for tert-butylperoxyl are, however, not affected by this reaction. Furthermore they are not affected to any appreciable extent by the efficiency with which Ph2C(Me)O•, formed in nonterminating self-reactions, escape from the solvent cage. They are influenced principally by the first-order rate of decomposition of Ph2C(Me)OOOOC(Me)Ph2.

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.
