Mechanism of Formation of the Quinonoid Hydrocarbon CH2:C6H4:CH2
摘要:
Para-xylyl radicals were generated by pyrolysing para-xylyl bromide in the presence of toluene or of para-xylene. Investigation of their behavior led to the conclusion that the quinonoid hydrocarbon CH2:C6H4:CH2 is formed by the disproportionation process. Further information about this reaction was secured by studying the pyrolysis of ω, ω′ dibromo para-xylene (Br·CH2·C6H4·CH2·Br). Semiquantitative treatment of the data indicates that the activation energy of the dissociation process CH2·C6H4·CH3→CH2:C̀6H6:CH2+His of the order 70 kcal/mole. Consequently, the dissociation process is too slow to account for the formation of the quinonoid hydrocarbon, at temperatures below 1100°K. We therefore attribute the formation of the quinonoid hydrocarbon to the disproportionation reaction.
Reinvestigation of the pyrolysis of benzyl bromide confirmed the past results and particularly the value for D(C6H5·CH2–Br). It was shown that the rate constant for the decomposition of para-xylyl bromide is essentially equal to the rate constant for the decomposition of benzyl bromide, and it appears that the rate constant for the decomposition of ω, ω′ dibromo para-xylene is higher by statistical factor of 2 from the rate constant of the decomposition of para-xylyl bromide.

This paper describes a polymer fiber-based approach for the immobilization of homogeneouscatalysts. The goal is to generate products that are free of catalysts which would be of great importance for the development of optoelectronic or pharmaceutical compounds. Electrospinning was employed to prepare the non-woven fiber assembly composed of polystyrene. The homogeneouscatalyst scandium triflate was
A quantitative study of the pyrolysis of p-xylene at temperatures from 795° to 920° at low pressures has been made using a flow system at low contact times. A mechanism is postulated to account for the principal products. The primary rate controlling reactions are the dissociation of either a CH bond in the methyl side chain or a CC bond from the ring to the methyl group, the activation energies of

Two-colour two-laser techniques have unambiguously proved that photolysis of the o-/p-(chloromethyl)benzyl radical leads to the sequential two-photon generation of o-/p-xylylene from α,αâ²-dichloro-o-/p-xylene.
While studying a series of methyl-substituted benzenes, C6H6−n(CH3)n with n = 2, 3, 4, 6, and perfluorobenzene in the gas phase using 193-nm laser flash photolysis, we observed the formation of p-xylylene (benzoquinodimethane) due to the elimination of two hydrogen atoms as a result of a two-photon process. The results were explained in terms of an intermediate hot molecule formed by internal conversion
