Abstract
The kinetics and product distribution of the radical chain bromination of 2-methyl-2-propanol (RH) by N-bromosuccinimide (SBr) in water have been studied by pulse-radiolytic and γ-radiolytic methods in order to obtain key data for the reactivity of the succinimidyl radical, S . . The products of the reaction after γ-radiolysis are dependent on the concentration of RH, being essentially made up of equal amounts of (CH 3 ) 2 C(OH)CH 2 Br and succinimide at [RH]>0.5 M, while the hydrolyzed ring-opened product, 3-bromopropionamide, increases at the expense of (CH 3 ) 2 C(OH)CH 2 Br when the RH concentration is lowered
