Relative Reactivities of Styrene, α,β,β-Trifluorostyrene and Phenylacetylene toward Attacks of Trichloromethyl Radicals as measured by Direct Competition between the Substrates

Abstract

The relative rates of the addition of trichloromethyl radicals to styrene, α,β,β-trifluorostyrene and phenylacetylene in cyclohexane at 65 °C, measured by a direct competition procedure, are 1:0.23:0.40.
