Abstract
Diethylchloronium (C2H5)2Cl+) has been formed in a high pressure (24Torr) ion source using a C2H5Cl/CH4mixture. (C2H5)2Cl+reacts with C2H5Cl (Ea=222kcalmol1) at temperatures above 500K to give . The reaction of (C2H5)2Cl+with B (B=benzene, toluene, isopropylbenzene, mesitylene) yields mainly C2H5B+at temperatures below 500K but BH+is also formed at higher temperatures. The further reactions of C2H5B+include proton transfer to B yielding BH+(mesitylene), hydride transfer from B (isopropylbenzene), and reaction with C2H5Cl+(C2H5)2B+(toluene and benzene) and (C2H5)3B+(benzene). The rate constants for the reaction (C2H5)2Cl++BC2H5B++C2H5B++C2H5Cl increase in the order of increasing reaction exothermicity (mesitylene>isopropylbenzene>toluene>benzene). Mesitylene has a negative temperature coefficient, isopropylbenzene has no temperature coefficient, and toluene and benzene show positive temperature coefficients of reaction rate constants consistent with the double well potential theory for gas phase SN2 reactions.Utilisant un mlange de C2H5Cl/CH4dans une source ionique haute pression (2 4Torr), on a form l'ion diethylchloronium ((C2H5)2Cl+). L'ion (C2H5)2Cl+ragit avec le C2H5Cl (Ea=222kcalmol1) des tempratures suprieures 500K et il y a formation de A des tempratures allant jusqu' 500K, la raction du (C2H5)2Cl+avec les molcules B (B=benzne, tolune, isopropylbenzne et msitylne) fournit principalement les ions C2H5B+; toutefois, des tempratures plus leves, il y a formation des ions BH+. Parmi les ractions subsquentes des ions C2H5B+, on observe un transfert de protons B conduisant l'ion BH+(msitylne), un transfert d'hydrure provenant de B (isopropylbenzne) et une raction avec le C2H5Cl conduisant aux ions (C2H5)2B+(tolune et benzne) et (C2H5)3B+(benzne). Les constantes de vitesse pour la raction (C2H5)2Cl++BC2H5B++C2H5Cl augmentent avec le rendement thermique positif de la raction (msitylne>isopropylbenzne>tolune>benzne). Pour ce qui est des coefficients de temprature des constantes des vitesses de raction, celui du msitylne est ngatif alors que l'isopropylbenzne n'en a pas et que ceux du tolune et du benzne sont positifs; ces rsultats sont en accord avec la thorie du potentiel double puits pour les ractions SN2 en phase gazeuse.
