Hydrogenation Of Ethylene

A quantitative study has been made of the reaction of ethyl radicals with molecular hydrogen in the gas phase in the temperature range 240 to 320 °C. The mercury (63Pi) photosensitized decomposition of hydrogen in the presence of ethylene was used to generate ethyl radicals. Extinction coefficients for the absorption of 2537 Å by mercury vapor were measured and Beer's law was shown to be obeyed under the experimental conditions used. The corrections required to allow for the nonuniformity of radical concentrations in the cell were small. After delineating the experimental conditions necessary to minimize secondary reactions, the rate constant (cm3 mole−1 s−1) for the reaction C2H5 + H2 = C2H6 + H was found to be given by log10k = 12.57 − 13.7/θ. Experiments in the presence of added carbon dioxide showed the absence of hot radical effects at the working pressure of 92 Torr of hydrogen.

The ratios of rate constants for disproportionation to combination have been measured for ethyl radicals and for i-propyl radicals in liquid methane between −181 and −94 °C. The radicals were generated by γ-radiolysis of dilute methane solutions of ethylene-d4 or propylene-d6. The activation energy for combination was found to exceed that for disproportionation by 290 ± 30 cal mol−1 for ethyl radicals and by 255 ± 25 cal mol−1 for i-propyl radicals. In both cases the disproportionation—combination ratio in the liquid, extrapolated to room temperature, is greater than that in the gas phase by a factor of about 2.5. These results are interpreted as indicating that disproportionation and combination reactions proceed by way of different transition states.

The triplet mercury photosensitized decomposition of ethyl sulfide vapour has been studied at 25 °C. The reaction products include C2H4 (Φ0 = 0.075), C2H6 (Φ0 = 0.043), C4H10 (Φ0 = 0.011), C2H5SH (Φ0 = 0.068), 4-methyl-3-thiahexane (Φ0 = 0.011), and C2H5SSC2H5 (Φ0 = 0.175). The overall decomposition quantum yield is 0.38 at high sulfide pressures. The initial decomposition gives principally ethyl radicals and ethylthiyl radicals; a second step which yields ethylene and ethanethiol may account for up to 20% of the primary process. Comparison of the direct and sensitized decompositions indicates that both likely originate in the triplet manifold of ethyl sulfide.Primary decomposition quantum yields have been accurately redetermined for the direct, 254 nm, photolysis of methyl sulfide (0.51), methylethyl sulfide (0.46), and ethyl sulfide (0.49).
