Notes:
Rate constants have been determined for the reactions of SO4- with a series of alkanes and ethers. The SO4- radical was produced by the laser-flash photolysis of persulfate, S2O82-. For methane, only an upper limit of 1 × 106 M-1 s-1 could be determined. For ethane, propane, and 2-methylpropane, rate constants of 0.44, 4.0, and 10.5 × 107 M-1 s-1 were found. For ethyl and n-propyl ether, rate constants of 1.3 × 108 and 2.2 × 108 M-1 s-1 were found and for 1,4-dioxane and tetrahydrofuran, rate constants of 7.2 × 107 and 2.8 × 108 were obtained. The reaction of SO4- with allyl alcohol was also studied and found to have a rate constant of 1.4 × 109 M-1 s-1.
