IN the twenty years that have elapsed since the independent existence of free radicals was established, the number of organic chemical reactions explicable in terms of free-radical intermediates has multiplied continuously. In the absence of conclusions based on rigorous reaction-kinetic analyses, identification of the elementary free-radical processes contained in such reaction mechanisms has been based largely on permissive evidence derived from the qualitative identification of final reaction products. This lag in the application of kinetic methods arises partly from their intrinsically more laborious nature and partly because intrusion of secondary reactions frequently renders a completely quantitative treatment of the main reaction extremely difficult. In recent years, however, substantial progress has been made towards establishing free-radical chemistry on a quantitative basis.Thus each type of free radical shows a certain specificity in the reactions in which it will take part; again, the ease with which a series of radicals participate in a given general chemical reaction can show distinct variation. The application of reaction kinetics to determine the basic principles governing the. reactivity of radicals in general may therefore be resolved into two parts. I n the first place, it is necessary to identify the elementary reactions involving free radicals, which may occur in a wide variety of chemical reactions; secondly, having established the occurrence of a particular radical reaction, the influence on reaction efficiency resulting from alteration in the chemical structure of the radical and non-radical reactants should be followed. For example, a radical reaction which has been most carefully identified is the propagation process occurring in vinyl polymerisations:
