Using time-resolved EPR, we have investigated the hydrogen abstraction reaction of carbonyls, especially acetone, with alkanes and 2-propanol to examine the position and type dependence of the reaction and the reaction mechanism. It is concluded that all the secondary hydrogens at different positions of alkanes are abstracted at almost equal rates, which cannot be explained by a simple MO theory. The results for the reactivities of the hydrogens of the different types are consistent with related studies, i.e., k1/k2 less-than-or-equal-to 0.1 and k2/k3 congruent-to 0.1, where k1, k2, and k3 are abstraction rate constants for primary, secondary, and tertiary hydrogens, respectively. As for the deuterium isotope effects on the reaction rates of acetone and cyclopentanone with 2-propanol, k(H)/k(D), are found to be around 3-4 with no significant temperature dependence. The implication of this result is briefly discussed.
