Absolute rate constants for the reaction of a series of ring-substituted 1,1 -diphenylsilene derivatives with methanol, tert-butanol, and acetic acid in acetonitrile solution have been determined using nanosecond laser flash photolysis techniques. The three reactions exhibit small positive Hammett ρ-values at 23 °C, consistent with a mechanism involving initial, reversible nucleophilic attack at silicon to form a σ-bonded complex that collapses to product via rate-limiting proton transfer. Deuterium kinetic isotope effects and Arrhenius parameters have been determined for the reactions of 1,1-di-(4-methylphenyl)silene and 1,1-di-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)silene with methanol, and are compared to those for the parent compound. Proton transfer within the complex is dominated by entropic factors, resulting in negative activation energies for reaction. The trends in the data can be rationalized in terms of variations in the relative rate constants for reversion to reactants and proton transfer as a function of temperature and substituent. A comparison of the Arrhenius activation energies for reaction of acetic acid with 1,1-diphenylsilene (Ea = +1.9 ± 0.3 kcal/mol) and the more reactive di-trifluoromethyl analogue (Ea = +3.6 ± 0.5 kcal/mol) suggests that carboxylic acids also add by a stepwise mechanism, but with formation of the complex being rate determining. Keywords: silene, substituent effects, kinetics, Arrhenius, flash photolysis.

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.

Vinyl cations of the structure were generated by flash photolysis of the corresponding halides. Lifetime measurements with the aid of optical absorption measurements yielded bimolecular rate constants k2 of the reaction of I+ with tetrahydrofuran and several aliphatic alcohols. On the basis of k2 values the steric effect of various substituents R1 and R2 at C2 and the combined mesomeric (+M) and inductive (-1) effect of substituent groups at C1 on the electrophilicity of I+ have been elucidated.
