Abstract:
The kinetics for the reactions of CH2OO and syn-CH3CHOO with acrolein, a typical unsaturated aldehyde in the atmosphere, were studied in a flash photolysis flow reactor using the OH laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) method. The bimolecular reaction rate coefficients were measured at temperatures ranging from 281 to 318 K, and pressures ranging from 5 to 200 Torr. No obvious dependence of the rate coefficients on pressure was observed under the current experimental conditions. Both reactions exhibit negative temperature-dependence, with an activation energy of (-1.70 ± 0.19) and (-1.47 ± 0.24) kcal mol-1 for CH2OO and syn-CH3CHOO reacting with acrolein, derived from the Arrhenius equation. At 298 K, the measured rate coefficients for CH2OO/syn-CH3CHOO + acrolein reactions are (1.63 ± 0.19) × 10-12 cm3 s-1 and (1.17 ± 0.16) × 10-13 cm3 s-1, respectively. The rate coefficient of the former reaction is in reasonable agreement with a recent theoretical result.

Alkylation of terminal alkynes with primary alkyl halides in the presence of a strong base like sodium amide is one of the common methods for the synthesis of longer carbon-chain alkynes. For example, treatment of 1-propyne with sodium amide followed by reaction with ethyl bromide yields 2-pentyne.
