  • Hydrogen abstraction from substituted t-butylbenzenes

    Creator:
    Harvey, Robert Louis
    Abstract:
    A study of the relative rates of the alkyl hydrogen abstraction from a series of meta and para substituted t-butylbenzenes by the chlorine atom at 70°C has been carried out. Application of the Hammett equation yielded a ρ value of -0.44 for the para compounds. Possible explanations for the non-linearity...

  • Steric effects in free-radical hydrogen atom abstraction reactions

    Creator:
    Totherow, William D.
    Abstract:
    A study of the relative rates of benzylic hydrogen abstractions from a series of meta and para substituted neopentylbenzenes by the bromine radical and trichloromethyl radical at 70°C has been carried out. Application of the Hammett equation yields p values of -0.75 for the bromine atom and -0.94 for the...
