The kinetics of chlorine atom abstraction from the chloroethanes (EClH) 1,1,2-C2Cl3H3, 1,1-C2Cl2H4, and 1,2-C2Cl2H4 by radiolytically generated cyclohexyl radicals was studied in the liquid phase by a competitive method. The chlorine atom abstraction data were put on an absolute basis by comparing the rates of the metathetical reactions with the known rate of addition of cyclohexyl radicals to C2Cl4. The following Arrhenius parameters were obtained: TextE(EClH)-TemperatureA(ECLH)E(CCl4)log A(EClH)E(EClH)RangelogEClHA(C2Cl4)(kcal/mol)(1.mol·sec)(kcal/mol)(°C)CHCL2CH2Cl0.03 ± 0.083.87 ± 0.178.98 ± 0.1411.17 ± 0.27150 - 250CHCL2CH30.13 ± 0.134.63 ± 0.278.18 ± 0.1911.93 ± 0.37130 - 250CHCL2CH2Cl0.50 ± 0.177.57 ± 0.359.18 ± 0.2314.87 ± 0.45150 - 250The error limits are the standard deviations from least mean square Arrhenius plots.The α and ß activation effects on the kinetics of Cl atom abstraction from chloroalkanes are discussed. From the linear relation between the relative reactivities of cyclohexyl radicals toward the XCCl3 and XCHCl2 series, ECl(c-C6H11· + CHCl2CHCl2) = 10.2 ± 1 kcal/mol and ECl(c-C6H11· + CHCl22CCl3) = 9.7 ± 1 kcal is derived.
