Electron spin resonance studies. Part XLIII. Reaction of dimethyl sulphoxide with the hydroxyl radical

Abstract

A kinetic analysis is given of the reaction between the hydroxyl radical (generated from the TiIII–H2O2 couple in a continuous flow system) and dimethyl sulphoxide in aqueous acid at ambient temperature; steady-state concentrations of both Me˙ and MeSO2˙ have been monitored. Evidence is presented that the former radical arises from addition of ˙OH to the sulphoxide followed by rapid decomposition of the intermediate species Me2SO2˙. There was no evidence for the formation of ˙CH2S(O)Me. Rate constants for the reaction between hydroxyl and Me2SO, for that between Me˙ and MeSO2H, and for the dimerisation of methyl are estimated as 5 × 109, ca. 106, and 5·6 × 109 l mol–1 s–1, respectively.
