UV-visible absorption spectra and kinetic data obtained at room temperature are reported for three (alkenylcarbonyl)oxyls: trans-(CH3)3CCH = CHC(O)O., 1a; trans-C6H5CH = CHC(O)O., 1b; (CH3)2C = CHC(O)O., 1c; and two (alkynylcarbonyl)oxyls: (CH3)3CC = CC(O)O., 2a; C6H5C = CC(O)O., 2b. Rate constants for decarboxylation of 1a, 1b, 2a, and 2b are estimated to be less-than-or-equal-to 1.1 x 10(7), 1 x 10(6), 5 x 10(5) and 2 x 10(5) s-1, respectively. The first-order decay of 1c would appear to occur primarily by an intramolecular H atom abstraction, k approximately (2 +/- 1) x 10(7) s-1. The (alkynylcarbonyl)oxyls are more reactive than the (alkenylcarbonyl)oxyls in a variety of H atom abstraction reactions, e.g., with c-C6H12, and addition reactions, e.g., with C6H5CH = CH2. Combining the present and earlier5-7 kinetic data for carbonyloxyls yields the following order of decreasing reactivity for hydrogen abstraction and addition reactions: RC = CC(O)O. greater-than-or-equal-to ROC(O)O. > RR'C = CHC(O)O. greater-than-or-equal-to C6H5C(O)O. The reactivities of meta- and para-substituted aroyloxyls can be correlated with the intrinsic acidities and with the pK(a)'s of the corresponding benzoic acids, reactivity increasing with acid strength.
