Abstract
AbstractThe abstraction of hydrogen/deuterium from CH3CH2Cl, CH3CHDCl, and CH3CD2Cl by photochemically generated ground‐state chlorine atoms has been investigated over the temperature range of 8–94°C using methane as a competitor. Rate constant data for the following reactions have been obtained:magnified imageThe temperature dependence of the relative rate constants ki/kj was found to conform to the Arrhenius rate law, where the stated error limits are one standard deviation: and kr is the rate constant for the reference reaction (CH4 + Cl → CH3 + HCl). The β secondary kinetic isotope effects (k2/k3/k4) are close to unity and show a slight inverse temperature dependence. Both preexponential factors and activation energies decrease as a result of deuterium substitution in the adjacent chloromethyl group. The trends are well outside the limits of experimental error.
