Reactions of aqueous trifluoromethyl radicals

Abstract

The reaction between the solvated electron and trifluoromethyl halides has been used as a source of trifluoromethyl radicals in aqueous solutions. Pulse radiolysis studies have enabled the rate constants for the reactions eaq+CF3X→CF3·+X(X = Cl, Br and I) CF3·+ϕNH2→CF3[small phi, Greek, dot above]NH2 CF3·+ HCOO→CF3H+·COO to be determined at 293 K. Competition kinetic methods have been used to measure a series of relative trifluoromethyl radical rate constants for hydrogen abstraction and addition reactions. The relative rate constants were combined with the pulse radiolysis data to yield a set of absolute rate constants. These reaction rates are discussed in relation to analogous radical reactions both in the liquid and gas phases.
