β¦ Synopsis
The electrophilic additions of hydroperoxyl HO , alkylperoxyl RO , 2 2 and halogenated alkylperoxyl radicals to ethylene were studied using the AM1 and PM3 semiempirical MO methods at the SCFrUHF level. Reactantlike transition states were Ε½ U . predicted for the title additions. The AM1 activation enthalpies β¬ H were found to be f increased in the order HO Ψ -CH O Ψ -C H O Ψi-C H O Ψ . The reactivity of an 2 3 2 2 5 2 3 7 2 alkylperoxyl radical toward ethylene was found to be increased as the degree of halogen substitution on the alkyl group increased. A good correlation was established between β¬ H U and the Taft polar substituent constants, *. The EvansαPolanyi correlation f between β¬ H U and β¬ H T was justified and the validity of the Hammond postulate was f r indicated. The calculated results were compared with the available experimental findings.
