Hydrogen abstraction from CF3COOCH3, C2F5COOCH3 and C3F7COOCH3 by CF3 radicals has been studied in the temperature range 100-210�. The rate constants, based on the value of 1013,36 cm3 mol-1 s-1 for the recombination of CF3 radicals, are given by (kn in cm3 mol-1s-1, E in kJ mol-1, R = 0.008314 kJ K-1 mol-1): Logk1 = (10.81 � 0.16)-(37.52 � 1.27)/2.303RT Logk2 = (10.93 � 0.16)-(38.80 � 1.32)/2.303RT Logk3 = (11.24 � 0.08)-(42.49 � 0.63)/2.303RT The reactivity of the methoxyl groups in these esters is less than those in HCOOCH3 and CH3COOCH3 by a factor of between 2 and 3. This can be explained in terms of intermolecular polar repulsion induced by the fluorine atoms in the esters and the CF3 radical.

Hydrogen abstraction from CF3COOCH3 and CH3COCH3 by CH3 radicals CF3 + CF3COOCH3 → CH4 + CF3COOCH2 (1) CF3 + CF3COOCH3 → CH4 + CH3COCH2 (3) has been studied in the temperature range 117-244�. The rate constants, based on the value of 1013.34 cm3 mol-1 s-1 for the recombination of CH3 radicals, are given by (k in cm3 mol-1 s-1 and E in J mol-1) : logk1 = (10.39 � 0.11)- (37680 � 880)/19.145T logk3 = (11.53 � 0.02)- (40590 � 170)/19.145T CF3COOCH3 is less susceptible to attack by CH3 radicals than by CF3 radicals by a factor of 2.8 at 400 K, due mainly to a difference in A factors, since the activation energies of the two reactions are almost identical. These results can be rationalized in terms of intermolecular polar repulsion between the CF3 radical and CF3COOCH3.

Kinetic Calculations

The hydrogen abstraction reaction of CH 3 CH 2 C(O)OCH 2 CH 3 + OH has been studied theoretically by dual-level direct dynamics method. Six H-abstraction channels were found for this reaction. The required potential energy surface information for the kinetic calculations was obtained at the MCG3-MPWB//M06-2X/aug-cc-pVDZ level. The rate constants were calculated by the improved canonical variational transition-state theory with small-curvature tunneling correction (ICVT/SCT) approach in the temperature range of 200–2000 K. It is shown that the "methylene H-abstraction" from the alkoxy end of the ester CH 3 CH 2 C(O)OCH 2 CH 3 is the dominant channel at lower temperature (< 400 K), while the other channels from the acetyl end should be taken into account as the temperature increases and become the competitive ones at higher temperature. The calculated global rate constants are in good agreement with the experimental ones in the measured temperature range and exhibit a negative temperature dependence below 500 K. A four-parameter rate constant expression was fitted from the calculated kinetic data between 200–2000 K.

Hydrogen abstraction by CF3 radicals from CH3COOCH3 and CD3COOCH3 has been studied in the temperature range 78-242°, and data have been obtained for the reactions: CF3 + CH3COOCH3 → CF3H+[C3H5O2] �������������(3) CF3 + CH3COOCH3 → CF3H+CH2COOCH3������������ (4) CF3 + CD3COOCH3 → CF3D+CD2COOCH3������������ (6) CF3 + CD3COOCH3 → CF3H+CD3COOCH2������������ (7) The corresponding rate constants, based on the value of 1013.36 cm3 mol-1 S-1 for the recombination of CF3 radicals, are given by (k in cm3 mol-1 s-1 and E in J mol-1): logk3 = (11.52�0.05)-(35430�380)/19.145T ���� (3)logk4 = (11.19�0.07)-(34680�550)/19.145T ���� (4)logk6 = (11.34�0.06)-(46490�490)/19.145T ���� (6)logk7 = (11.26�0.05)-(36440�400)/19.145T ���� (7)At 400 K, 59% of abstraction occurs from the acetyl group, and 41 % from the methoxy group. The kinetic isotope effect at 400 K for attack on the acetyl group is 25, due mainly to a difference in activation energies.

A study of hydrogen abstraction from CH3COOCD3 by CH3 radicals in the temperature range 113-232�, and by CF3 radicals in the range 83-212�, has yielded data on the reactions: CH3+CH3COOCD3 → CH4+CH2COOCD3 (1)CH3+CH3COOCD3 → CH3D+CH3COOCD2 (2) CF3+CH3COOCD3 → CF3H+CH2COOCD2 (3) CF3+CH3COOCD3 → CF3D+CH3COOCD2 (4) The corresponding rate constants, based on the values 1013.34 and 1013.36 cm3 mol-1 s-1 for the recombination of CH3 and CF3 radicals, respectively, are given by (k in cm3 mol-1 s-1 and E in J mol-1): logk1 = (11.31�0.12)-(43500�1030)/19.145T (1) logk1 = (11.31�0.12)-(53460�640)/19.145t (2) logk3 = (11.12�0.06)=(34260�450)/19.145T � (3) logk4 =(10.93�0.12)-(38650�900)/19.145T (4)These results lead to kinetic isotope effects at 400 K for attack on the acetyl group of 11, for the CH3 reaction, and 24, for the CF3 reaction, thus confirming the values we obtained previously. For attack on the methoxy group, the kinetic isotope effects are 8 and 4, for the CH3 and CF3 reactions, respectively.

Hydrogen abstraction from (CH3),S and CH3COCH3 by CH3 radicals CH3+CH3SCH3 → CH4+CH3SCH2 CH3 + CH3COCH3 → CH4 + CH3COCH2 has been studied in the temperature range 120-245�. The rate constants, based on the value of 1013.34cm3 mol-l s-1 for the recombination of CH3 radicals, are given by (k in cm3 mol-1 s-1, E in kJ mol-1, R = 0.008314 kJ K-1 mol-1): logk1 = (11.62 � 0.08) ? (38.35 � 0.68)/2.303RT logk3 = (11.61 � 0.05) ? (40.48 � 0.46)/2.303RT Combination of the results for (1) with thermochemical data gives a calculated value of Logk-1 = (11.8 -63.7/2.303RT for the rate constant of the reverse reaction. The results for CH3+(CH3)2S are compared with all of the available data for hydrogen abstraction by free radicals from both sulphur-containing compounds, and molecules of the type (CH3)xM.

A study of hydrogen abstraction by CH3 radicals from CH3COOCH3 in the temperature range 116-224°, and from CD3COOCH3 in the range 117-234°, has yielded data on the reactions: CH3 + CH3COOCH3 → CH4 + [C3H5O2] (4) CH3 + CH3COOCH3 → CH4 + CH2COOCH3 (5) CH3 + CH3COOCH3 → CH4 + CH3COOCH2 (6) CH3 + CD3COOCH3 → CH3D + CD2COOCH3 (7) The corresponding rate constants, based dn the value of 1013.34 cm3 mol-1 s-1 for the recombination of CH3 radicals, are given by (k in cm3 mol-1 s-1 and E in J mol-1): logk4 = (11.56 ± 0.12) - (44430 ± 970)/19.145T (4) logk5 = (11.17 ± 0.22) - (42900 ± 1760)/19.145T (5) logk6 = (11.44 ± 0.16) - (46980 ± 1290)/19.145T (6) logk7 = (11.39 ± 0.04) - (52110 ± 330)/19.145T (7) At 400 K, 64% of abstraction occurs from the acetyl group, and 36% from the methoxy group. The kinetic isotope effect at 400 K for attack on the acetyl group is 9.6; this is mainly due to a difference in activation energies since the quotient of A factors is close to unity.

The work described in this and the following paper is a continuation of that in parts I and II, devoted to elucidation of the mechanism of the reactions of methylene with chloroalkanes, with particular reference to the reactivities of singlet and triplet methylene in abstraction and insertion processes. The products of the reaction between methylene, prepared by the photolysis of ketene, and 1-chloropropane have been identified and estimated and their dependence on reactant pressures, photolysing wavelength and presence of foreign gases (oxygen and carbon mon­oxide) has been investigated. Both insertion and abstraction mechanisms contribute significantly to the over-all reaction, insertion being relatively much more important than with chloroethane. This type of process appears to be confined to singlet methylene. If, as seems likely, there is no insertion into C—Cl bonds under our conditions (see part IV), insertion into C2—H and C3—H bonds occurs in statistical ratio, approximately. On the other hand, the chlorine substituent reduces the probability of insertion into C—H bonds in its vicinity. As in the chloroethane system, both species of methylene show a high degree of selectivity in their abstraction reactions. We find that k S Cl / k S H >7.7, k T Cl / k T H < 0.14, where the k ’s are rate constants for abstraction, and the super- and subscripts indicate the species of methylene and the type of atom abstracted, respectively. Triplet methylene is discriminating in hydrogen abstraction from 1-C 3 H 7 Cl, the overall rates for atoms attached to C1, C2, C3 being in the ratios 2.63:1:0.

Hydrogen atom abstraction from (CH3)2S by CF3 radicals has been studied in the temperature range 79-167�: (1) CF3 + CH3SCH3 ←→ CF3H + CH3SCH2 (-1) The rate constant, based on Ayscough's value of 1013.36cmS mol-l s-l for the recombination of CF3 radicals, is given by (k1 in cm3 mol-1 s-l, E in J mol-l): Logk1 = (12.05 � 0.02)-(28710 � 130)/2.303RT Combination of these results with thermochemical data gives a calculated value of log k-1 = 12.2 - 62600/2.303RT for the rate constant of the reverse reaction. ΔH�f(CH3SCH2) and S�(CH3SCH2) are estimated to be 155.6 kJ mol-l and 290 J K-l mol-1 respectively.
