Abstract:In this publication we report: (i) the rate constants for reaction of the hydrated electron with l-hexyn-3-01 ((8.6 ? 0.3) x lo8 dm3 mol-' s-' at lS°C), cinnamonitrile ((2.3 ? 0.2) x dm3 mol-I s-' at 2OoC), and 1,3-diethyl-2-thiourea ((3.5 ? 0.3) x lo8 dm3 mol-I s-I at 22'C). For cinnamonitrile and diethylthiourea, the temperature dependence up to 200°C and 150°C, respectively, is also reported; (ii) the rate constants for the reaction of the hydroxyl radical with 1-hexyn-3-ol((5.5 ? 0.5) x lo9 dm3 mol-I s-I at 20°C), cinnamonitrile ((9.2 ? 0.3) x lo9 dm3 mol-I s-I at 21°C), and diethylthiourea ((8.0 ? 0.8) x lo8 dm3 mol-I s-I at 22OC). For cinnamonitrile, the temperature dependence up to 200°C is also reported; (iii) the rate constant for the hydrogen atom reacting with 1-hexyn-3-01 ((4.3 ? 0.4) x lo9 dm3 mol-I s-' at 20°C).
