Notes:
The abstraction of hydrogen/deuterium from CH3CH2Cl, CH3CHDCl, and CH3CD2Cl by photochemically generated ground-state chlorine atoms has been investigated over the temperature range of 8-94°C using methane as a competitor. Rate constant data for the following reactions have been obtained:The temperature dependence of the relative rate constants ki/kj was found to conform to the Arrhenius rate law, where the stated error limits are one standard deviation:\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ k_1 /k_2 = (1.099 \pm 0.015)\exp [(429 \pm 2)/T] $$ $$ k_1 /k_r = (1.422 \pm 0.026)\exp [(1113 \pm 3)/T] $$ $$ k_2 /k_r = (1.295 \pm 0.029)\exp [(684 \pm 3)/T] $$ $$ k_3 /k_r = (1.177 \pm 0.025)\exp [(717 \pm 4)/T] $$ $$ k_4 /k_r = (1.115 \pm 0.023)\exp [(732 \pm 2)/T] $$ $$ k_5 /k_r = (0.978 \pm 0.020)\exp [(985 \pm 2)/T] $$\end{document} and kr is the rate constant for the reference reaction (CH4 + Cl → CH3 + HCl). The β secondary kinetic isotope effects (k2/k3/k4) are close to unity and show a slight inverse temperature dependence. Both preexponential factors and activation energies decrease as a result of deuterium substitution in the adjacent chloromethyl group. The trends are well outside the limits of experimental error.
