✦ Synopsis
The orientation of addition of H atoms to the asymmetric olefins propylene, butene-I, and isobutene has been determined as a function of atom concentration, olefin concentration, hydrogen pressure, total pressure, and olefin conversion. Conditions have been determined for which complicating secondary processes are believed to be unimportant. The percentage of nonterminal addition is 5.7, 5.7, and 0.48 for propylene, butene-I, and isobutene, respectively. From these data activation energy differences between nonterminal and terminal addition of 1.7 and 3.2 kcal/mole for the linear olefins and isobutene, respectively, may be calculated. For D atom addition to propylene, a small isotope effect was observed, nonterminal addition being 5.4%. These observations are consistent with a predominantly free radical or electroneutral character for H atoms.

## Abstract The reaction of hot hydrogen atoms originating from 253.7‐ and 228.8‐nm photolyses of hydrogen sulfide with 1‐butene was investigated. Of the hydrogen atoms undergoing addition a substantial part undergoes it in a first collision (37 and 48% at 253.7 and 228.8 nm, respectively) yielding
The title reactions have been investigated in a fast flow system at pressures of about 2 torr and temperatures between 12 and 132°C. The following Arrhenius equations are derived for reaction (2) (2) where A e Olefin, R = Alkyl radical loglok2(ethylene) = 10.43 f 0.21 -3,300 f 300/4.5767' loglok2(
## Abstract The pyrolysis of ethylene–butene‐2 mixtures has been studied in a static system over the temperature range of 689°‐754°k and for initial pressures of each olefin of 20–200 torr. The two main addition products were cyclopentene and 3‐methylpentene‐1. Kinetic evidence indicated that cyclo
Highly excited 2-butyl radicals have been generated by addition of hot hydrogen atoms to but-2-ene. Atoms of initial energy 130 k J mol-' and 161 kJ mol-' were produced by photolysis of HzS. Rates of decomposition of the highly excited 2-butyl radicals were monitored by analysis of stabilization and
