B. Delest et al., REACTIVITY OF PERFLUORO-N-ALKYL RADICALS WITH RELUCTANT SUBSTRATES - RATES OF ADDITION TO RFCH2CH=CH2 AND RFCH=CH2, Tetrahedron, 54(32), 1998, pp. 9273-9280
Conditions for conducting competitive experiments involving slow react
ions of perfluoroalkyl radicals have been defined. A revised value for
the rate constant for hydrogen abstraction from Et3SiH is reported [(
5.0 +/- 0.4) x 10(5) M(-1)s(-1)], as we the rate, constants for additi
on of the n-C4F9. radical to CH2=CHCH2C4F9 [1.15 +/- 0.11) x 10(6) M(-
1)s(-1)] and to CH2=CHC4F9 [2.6 +/- 0.2) x 105 M(-1)s(-1)] at 25 degre
