Abstract
The kinetics of hydrogen abstraction from cyclohexene by CCl3 radicals were studied in CCl4 solution as a function of cyclohexene concentration and temperature in the range of 26–140°C. The CCl3 radicals were produced both by radiolysis of CCl4 and by photolysis of CCl3Br. The rate constant for the reaction (Formula Presented.) was found to be given by the equation (Formula Presented.) where θ = 2.303 RT kcal/mol. This activation energy leads to CH bond strength for the allylic hydrogen of 85 ± 1 kcal/mol, which means a resonance stabilization energy of 11 ± 1.5 kcal/mol for the C‐C6H11 radical.
