Dilute aqueous solutions of some halogen-substituted ethanols, acetaldehydes, and acetates have been irradiated with Co60 gamma rays, and the yield of acid products determined. Irradiations were carried out using air-saturated solutions and also solutions from which the air had been displaced by nitrogen or hydrogen. The acid yields are correlated with the structure of the organic compounds.

A computational study at correlated levels of theory is reported to address the structures and energetics of transient radicals produced by hydrogen atom abstraction from C-1, C-2, C-3, C-4, C-5, O-1, O-3, and O-5 positions in 2-deoxyribofuranose in the gas phase and in aqueous solution. In general, the carbon-centered radicals are found to be thermodynamically and kinetically more stable than the oxygen-centered ones. The most stable gas-phase radical, 2-deoxyribofuranos-5-yl (5), is produced by H-atom abstraction from C-5 and stabilized by an intramolecular hydrogen bond between the O-5 hydroxy group and O-1. The order of radical stabilities is altered in aqueous solution due to different solvation free energies. These prefer conformers that lack intramolecular hydrogen bonds and expose O-H bonds to the solvent. Carbon-centered deoxyribose radicals can undergo competitive dissociations by loss of H atoms, OH radical, or by ring cleavages that all require threshold dissociation or transition state energies >100 kJ mol-1. This points to largely non-specific dissociations of 2-deoxyribose radicals when produced by exothermic hydrogen atom abstraction from the saccharide molecule. Oxygen-centered 2-deoxyribose radicals show only marginal thermodynamic and kinetic stability and are expected to readily fragment upon formation.


It has been found that the hexaearbonyls of group VI metals in the presence of some organic halogen compounds are active initiators of vinyl polymerization. Molybdenum hexacarbonyl is the most active, and halogen compounds containing —CC1 3 , —CBr 3 are generally more effective than those with fewer halogen atoms joined to a single carbon. Fluorine and iodine compounds are inactive. A study has been made of the initiation of the polymerization of methyl methacrylate by the Cr(CO) 6 + CCl 4 system. The polymerization is markedly retarded by carbon monoxide. It is shown that the reaction proceeds through free-radical intermediates, and a kinetic mechanism for initiation is derived (equation (4)) leading to the expression (5) for the rate of chain starting. This quantity may be calculated from (5) with the aid of the numerical values in table 3. Kinetic observations are in satisfactory agreement with this mechanism. The nature of the participating reactions is discussed.
