Stealing from a distant neighbor: an unexpectedly fast long-span peroxy radical hydrogen-shift reaction in a long-chain diether

HYHongmin YuTAThomas Golin AlmeidaSRSamir P. Rezgui

Key Points

  • The aim is to investigate an unusually rapid hydrogen-shift reaction in a specific peroxy radical.
  • Measured the intramolecular hydrogen-shift reaction
  • Analyzed the behavior of a long-chain diether compound
  • Focused on 1,2-diethoxyethane for the study
  • Observed a fast long-range hydrogen-shift reaction
  • Identified the peroxy radical mechanism
  • Demonstrated the significance of molecular structure in reaction speed

Abstract

An unexpectedly fast long-range intramolecular hydrogen-shift (H-shift) reaction is observed and measured for an organic peroxy radical derived from a long-chain diether compound – 1,2-diethoxyethane.
