The rates of H/D exchange have been measured between (a) the activated olefins methyl methacrylate-d5and styrene-d8, and (b) the Cr hydrides (η5-C5Ph5)Cr(CO)3H (2a), (η5-C5Me5)Cr(CO)3H (2b), and (η5-C5H5)Cr(CO)3H (2c). With a large excess of the deuterated olefin the first exchange goes to completion before subsequent exchanges begin, at a rate first order in olefin and in hydride. (Hydrogenation is insignificant except with styrene and CpCr(CO)3H; in most cases, the radicals arising from the first H• transfer are too hindered to abstract another H•.) Statistical corrections give the rate constantskreinitfor H• transfer to the olefin from the hydride. With MMA,kreinitdecreases substantially as the steric bulk of the hydride increases; with styrene, the steric bulk of the hydride has little effect. At longer times, the reaction of MMA or styrene with2agives the corresponding metalloradical1aas termination depletes the concentration of the methyl isobutyryl radical3or the α-methylbenzyl radical4; computer simulation of [1a] as f(t) gives an estimate ofktr, the rate constant for H• transfer from3or4back to Cr. These rate constants imply a ΔG(50 °C) of +11 kcal/mol for H• transfer from2ato MMA, and a ΔG(50 °C) of +10 kcal/mol for H• transfer from2ato styrene. The CH3CN pKaof2a, 11.7, implies a BDE for its Cr−H bond of 59.6 kcal/mol, and DFT calculations give 58.2 kcal/mol for the Cr−H bond in2c. In combination the kinetic ΔGvalues, the experimental BDE for2a, and the calculated ΔSvalues for H• transfer imply a C−H BDE of 45.6 kcal/mol for the methyl isobutyryl radical3(close to the DFT-calculated 49.5 kcal/mol), and a C−H BDE of 47.9 kcal/mol for the α-methylbenzyl radical4(close to the DFT-calculated 49.9 kcal/mol). A solvent cage model suggests 46.1 kcal/mol as the C−H BDE for the chain-carrying radical in MMA polymerization.
