Tunnelling corrections in hydrogen abstractions by excited‐state ketones

Abstract: Hydrogen abstraction from 1‐phenylethanol by triplet acetophenone occurs from both CH and OH bonds. The reaction path of the Interacting‐State Model (ISM) is used with the Transition‐State Theory (TST) and the semiclassical correction for tunnelling (ISM/scTST) to help rationalizing the experimental kinetic results and elucidate the mechanisms of these reactions. The weak exothermicity of the abstraction from the strong OH bond is compensated by electronic effects, hydrogen bonding and tunnelling, and is co… Show more

“…The measurements have raised the question of whether enzymes might facilitate tunnelling. With some notable exceptions45–47 it seems fair to say that this question has been addressed more actively by computational or theoretical chemists26, 33, 48 than by organic or inorganic chemists undertaking measurements of isotope effects for non‐enzymatic reactions. It would be a useful upshot of the symposium therefore if more experimentalists were encouraged to take an interest in the field.…”

“…The enthalpy of the hydrogen abstraction step was recently estimated using thermochemical cycles, and is DH H = -32.6 kcal mol -1 . 26 The enthalpy of the nonreactive quenching directly back to the acetophenone ground state is just its triplet energy in nonpolar solvents, DH Q1 = E T = 73.5 kcal mol -1 . 27a The enthalpy of the nonreactive quenching to 1-phenylethenol is The distinction between these mechanisms can be made on the basis of their transient heat decays but requires accurate PAC data analysis.…”
