Rates of decarboxylation of acyloxy radicals formed in the photocleavage of substituted 1-naphthylmethyl alkanoates

Rates of decarboxylation (kCO2R) have been estimated for the acyloxy racicals 7a-f formed in the photolysis of substituted 1-naphthylmethyl 6a-f. These rates are on a mechanism involving initial carbon-oxygen homolytic bond cleavage from the excited singlet state. The products are formed by two competing pathways: electron transfer in the radical pair to give an ion pair and decarboxylation. Measured product yields along with an of the electron-transfer rate (kET) allow calculation of kCO2R as a function of R. The values obtained are the following (R, k (109 s-1)): CH3, 3CH2, 2.0; (CH3)2CH, 6.5; (CH3)3C, 11; PhCH2, 5.0; PhCH2CH2, 2.3.
