Treatment of thiocarbonates (OCSO) with methyl iodidelpropylene oxide at 80� can lead smoothly to the carbonate. In some cases, a competing process is the formation of iodo thiocarbonates ( OCOSMe ), and an explanation is provided for the product distributions observed. The corresponding reactions with methyl bromide and methyl chloride (as methyl chloroformate ) are much less efficient.

Methyl Halide

The photodissociation of small organic molecules, namely methyl iodide, methyl bromide, and methyl chloride, adsorbed on a metal surface was investigated in real time by means of femtosecond-laser pump–probe mass spectrometry. A weakly interacting gold surface was employed as substrate because the intact adsorption of the methyl halide molecules was desired prior to photoexcitation. The gold surface was prepared as an ultrathin film on Mo(100). The molecular adsorption behavior was characterized by coverage dependent temperature programmed desorption spectroscopy. Submonolayer preparations were irradiated with UV light of 266 nm wavelength and the subsequently emerging methyl fragments were probed by photoionization and mass spectrometric detection. A strong dependence of the excitation mechanism and the light-induced dynamics on the type of molecule was observed. Possible photoexcitation mechanisms included direct photoexcitation to the dissociative A-band of the methyl halide molecules as well as the attachment of surface-emitted electrons with transient negative ion formation and subsequent molecular fragmentation. Both reaction pathways were energetically possible in the case of methyl iodide, yet, no methyl fragments were observed. As a likely explanation, the rapid quenching of the excited states prior to fragmentation is proposed. This quenching mechanism could be prevented by modification of the gold surface through pre-adsorption of iodine atoms. In contrast, the A-band of methyl bromide was not energetically directly accessible through 266 nm excitation. Nevertheless, the one-photon-induced dissociation was observed in the case of methyl bromide. This was interpreted as being due to a considerable energetic down-shift of the electronic A-band states of methyl bromide by about 1.5 eV through interaction with the gold substrate. Finally, for methyl chloride no photofragmentation could be detected at all.

The rates at which methyl chloride, methyl bromide and methyl iodide react with the hydroxyl and the thiosulphate ions in water have been measured at various concentrations and temperatures. The apparent energies of activation in both series increase in the same direction as the dipole moment of the methyl halide. The results are discussed in terms of a theory of the kinetics of the reactions between ions and polar molecules in solution.
