Reactivity of ring-substituted derivatives of alkylbenzenes in reactions with peroxy radicals

Journal Article · · Pet. Chem. USSR (Engl. Transl.); (United States)

The reaction of hydrogen atom detachment by peroxy radicals ROO + HR ..-->.. ROOH + R is studied in detail for two reasons. Firstly, it is an important elementary stage of reactions of chain continuation during oxidation of many substances (products of petroleum and carbon chemistry) by oxygen. Secondly, experimental methods for kinetic measurements have now reached such a level that they enable the rate constants of reactions to be measured with the wide variation in structure of both the molecules and the peroxy radicals for reaction series where the radical is the same but the molecular structure varies R/sub 1/OO + R/sub j/OO + R/sub j/, and also for reactions of different radicals with the same molecule R/sub j/OO + R/sub 1/H ..-->.. R/sub j/OOH + R/sub 1/. This makes it possible to study the influence of the properties of substituents on the reactivity of both the molecules and the peroxy radicals in such reactions. This paper is an analysis of the available data relating to the dependence of the rate constants of ring-substituted alkylarenes on the properties of the substituents.
