β¦ Synopsis
Kinetic studies of t h e transfer of hydrogen from 9,lO-dihydrophenanthrene t o anthracene were done at 350Β°C in the liquid phase. Principal products were phenanthrene and 9,lO-dihydroanthracene. Autocatalysis occurred at low extents of reaction, where H-transfer from 9,lO-dihydroanthracene to anthracene caused an increase in free radical concentrations. At higher extents of reaction, 9,lO-dihydroanthracene inhibited rates by diverting intermediate 9-hydrophenanthryl radicals back to reactants. A quantitative kinetic model based on literature rate and thermodynamic data fits the observations well. A key net reaction is the transfer of an H-atom from a radical (9-hydrophenanthryl) to a molecule (anthracene). It is shown that this process does not involve a free H-atom intermediate. The derived rate constant for this exothermic process (7.5 x lo3 M-' s-') is considerably greater than that for the related, but thermoneutral H-transfer between anthracene moieties (120 M s-').
