Abstract

A variety of transient RnM· radicals (M = C, Si, Sn, and P, but not O) have been trapped with di-tert-butyl thioketone and the persistent adduct radicals, RnMSĊ(CMe3)2 (1). have been examined by EPR spectroscopy. From a comparison of the hyperfine splittings by M in 1 and in RnMCH2Ċ(CMe3)2 and analogous radicals, and from a consideration of the g values for 1 (2.0024-2.0033), it is concluded that the RnM group eclipses the Cα 2pz orbital. Competitive experiments involving the reaction of tert-butyl with thione or oxygen at -80°C and the reaction of methyl with thione or Me3CNO at -40°C indicate that alkyl addition to the thione has a rate constant of ca. 106 M-1 s-1 at these temperatures. The CH3SĊ(CMe3)2 radial exists in equilibrium with a dimer at temperatures in the range -70 to -110°C: ΔH = 9.6 ± 1.5 kcal/mol; ΔS = 32 ± 3 gibbs/mol. Above -50°C the CH3SĊ(CMe3)2 radical decays with the first-order kinetics. It is concluded that CH3SĊ(CMe3)2 and SiH3SĊ(CMe3)2 decay by an intramolecular transfer of H from M to Cα. The CF3SĊ(CMe3)2 radical is extremely persistent. The (n-Bu)3SnSĊ(CMe3)2 radical decays with second-order kinetics. Arrhenius parameters for some of the decay reactions are reported.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
