Free radical reactions in hydrocarbon mixtures

Abstract: When tert.-butoxy radicals react with mixed hydrocarbons, alkyl aromatic hydrocarbons are consumed more rapidly in mixtures with saturated hydrocarbons than would be expected from a knowledge of the reactivities of the components. This is due to a hydrogentransfer reaction, in which radicals from the saturated hydrocarbon attack the alkyl aromatic hydrocarbon. In experiments with deuterated toluene, it was found that methyl radicals abstract hydrogen from, and add to, the benzene ring as well as abstract hydro… Show more

“…and therefore the relative ease of oxidation of different substrates can be correlated with the relative rates of reaction 18 (54,55). Peroxy radicals can also abstract a hydrogen atom, particularly one in the ,&position, by an intramolecular process (278) and can add to olefinic double bonds (187, 223, 224, 231, 272).…”

“…This suggests that the free radical induced decomposition of the peroxide is relatively unimportant compared with reaction [3]. The composition of the main products varies slightly with the initial peroxide concentration and with the extent of its decomposition (see Table I).…”

“…This may be due to a direct reaction between the phenol and the peroxide (29) or to some indirect solvation pheilomena. However, it is also possible that the increased rate is due to a reduction in the rate of recon~bination of t-butoxy radicals to re-form the peroxide (i.e., the reverse of reaction [3]) since the phenol will reduce the steady-state concentration of these radicals. The major products under varying conditions are given in Fig.…”
