Abstract

Conclusions.-Table I11 permits comparison of factors which limit free radical additions of hydrogen chloride to unsaturated compounds. The reaction with ethylene is limited mostly by the endothermic nature of reaction (2). The result with styrene shows how the reactivity of the radical in reaction (2) further restricts reaction. Comparison of propylene and t- butylethylene shows that chain termination by transfer with allylic
