Abstract
The reaction of iodine with acrolein has been studied in the temperature range 172-246°. The initial rates have been found to obey the rate law — d(I2)/df = k3(I)(acrolein), and k3 is given by log (k3/M-1 2sec-1) = (10.1 ± 0.2) — (16.8 ± 0.4) 9. From the activation energy and assuming E-3 = 1 ± 1 kcal mol-1, it has been calculated that D(CH2CHC(O)-H) = 87.1 ± 1.0 kcal mol-1, and ΔHt°(CH2CHCO, g) = 17.3 ± 1.2 kcal mol-1. The carbonyl C-H bond strength is the same as in formaldehyde reflecting the absence of any stabilization due to the vinyl group. The rate of iodine disappearance decreases with the extent of the reaction according to the scheme I2 + CH2CHCHO⇄ CH2CHCOI + HI (3,4) and CH2=CHCOI⇄CH2=C=CO + HI (5). k5 is given by log (k5/sec-1) = (13.4 ± 1.0) — (42.8 ± 7.0)/9.
