The isomerization of methyl isocyanide in the presence of methyl radicals takes place by two mechanisms. One is the simple free-radical displacement reaction which has been described previously. The other is through a direct transfer of energy from vibrationally excited ethane molecules. The vibrationally sensitized component can be quenched by increasing the total pressure.

Trideuteromethyl radicals have been reacted in the vapor phase with allyl formate and the principal reaction over the temperature range 100–250 °C has been shown to be the displacement reaction[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]Hydrogen atoms generated by this decomposition also react readily to produce propylene by the reaction[Formula: see text]

The ratios of isomers formed in the free-radical methylation of pyridine and 3- and 4-picoline have been determined and the results compared with the corresponding phenylations. The results support the concept that methyl radicals are more nucleophilic than phenyl radicals.


The free radical polymerization of the vapours of vinyl chloride, acrylic nitrile, styrene, butadiene and methyl isopropenyl ketone has been investigated using methyl radicals from photo-decomposing acetone. Although all the reactions do not exhibit ideal behaviour it is possible by the application of kinetic methods to measure the ratio of the propagation to the termination coefficients for these polymerization reactions. In this way relative values of the quantitative tendency for a molecule to polymerize by a free radical mechanism can be computed.
