Kinetics and Regioselectivity of the Autoxidation of o-Substituted Isopropyl Aromatics

The relative chain propagation constants and the regioselectivities of the oxidations of o-cymene and 2-isopropyl-1,4-dimethylbenzene were determined by competitive oxidations of the hydrocarbons with cumene.As expected, the reactivity of the tertiary C-H bond of the isopropyl group is considerably decreased by o-methyl groups.Also in α-isopropylnaphthalene a considerable decrease in the reactivity of the tertiary C-H bond takes place.The decrease of the chain propagation constants effects a decrease of the oxidabilities of o-substituted isopropyl aromatics.In the case of the methyl isopropyl benzenes the increase of the chain termination constants by primary peroxy radicals must also be taken into consideration.This results in a decrease of the oxidabilities which can be observed even in p-cymene (in comparison with cumene).
