Kinetics of 1,6-hydrogen migration in alkyl radical reaction class
The kinetics of the 1,6-intramolecular hydrogen migration in the alkyl
radical reaction class has been studied using the reaction class transition state theory
(RC-TST) combined with the linear energy relationship (LER) and the barrier height
grouping (BHG) approach. The RC-TST/LER, where only reaction energy is needed,
and RC-TST/BHG, where no other information is needed, are found to be promising
methods for predicting rate constants for any reaction in the 1,6-intramolecular H
migration in alkyl radicals reaction class. Direct comparison with available experimental
data indicates that the RC-TST/LER, where only reaction energy is needed, can
predict rate constants for any reaction in this reaction class with satisfactory accuracy
