A Critical Review of H-Atom Transfer in the Liquid Phase: Chlorine Atom, Alkyl, Trichloromethyl, Alkoxy, and Alkylperoxy Radicals

Abstract

This review covers hydrogen-atom transfer from carbon-hydrogen bonds in organic compounds to chlorine atom, methyl, ethyl, trichloromethyl, t-butoxy and alkylperoxy radicals in the liquid phase. Rate constant data are presented in 38 tables. Literature is covered through most of 1972. The review is divided into six sections; an introduction plus five sections each dealing with specific radicals. Hydrogen-atom transfer to chlorine atom are presented as relative rate constants. For hydrogen-atom transfer to methyl, ethyl, trichloromethyl, and t-butoxy radicals, both relative and absolute rate constants are tabulated. For alkylperoxy radicals only absolute rate constants are listed. Each absolute rate constant has a tabulated set of rate parameters where A has been assigned and E derived from the Arrhenius equation.
