Abstract:

The mechanism of the hydrogen abstraction reaction of CF2Cl(O)OCH2CH3+OH was studied theoretically via a dual-level direct dynamics method at the MCG3-MPWB//M06-2X/aug-cc-pVDZ level. Five stable conformers(RC1—RC5) of the reactant CF2Cl(O)OCH2CH3 were located, and for each conformer, the possible H-abstraction channels from —CH3 and —CH2— groups were taken into account. The rate constants were calculated using the improved canonical variational transition-state theory(ICVT) with the small-curvature tunneling correction(SCT) and the selectivity of the reaction sites of CF2Cl(O)OCH2CH3 was evaluated. The results show that for the conformers RC1 and RC2, the H-abstraction reactions mainly take place at the —CH2— group at low temperature, while for the conformers RC3, RC4 and RC5, the hydrogen abstraction from the —CH3 group is the major channel in the whole considered temperature range. The overall rate constant is obtained by considering the weight factors of the five conformers calculated from the Boltzmannn distribution function. It is found, that the calculated koverall at 298 K is in good agreement with the available experimental data. The three parameter expression for the overall reaction within 200—1000 K is fitted to koverall=5.45×10-25 T4.54 exp(-685/T).
