  10. Redox Kinetics • Example: Reduction of nitrobenzene to aniline • 3 two-electron steps • EH0(W) = 0.42 V for the six-electron reaction • reduction should “go” at EH below 0.42 V • (high enough electron activity to make rxn go) N(III) N(I) N(-I) N(-III)

  11. Redox Kinetics • Electrons donated by hydrogen sulfide • first electron transfer is slow (Figure 14.4) • HS- gives up e- readily (high pe) • ArNO2 takes on electron only at high electron activity (low pe)

  32. Reduction Reactions • Reductive dehalogenation: • reducing conditions (anoxic) • promote breakdown of RX, removal of halogens • usually, products are less toxic • aliphatic (C1 and C2) – fast • olefinic (R=R-X) – relatively fast • aromatic (Ar-X) – slow(e.g., PCBs, chlorinated benzenes) • most reductants capable of reducing RX • high redox potentials mean easy to reduce

  33. Reduction Reactions chloroform yield range 10 to 90% • Reductive dehalogenation • products depend on reductant • example: carbon tetrachloride, CCl4 • two-electron transfer reductant favors chloroform • sulfide as reductant carbon disulfide

  34. Reduction Reactions cellulose viscose • Carbon disulfide and rayon • viscose through slit  cellophaneviscose through spinneret rayon • significant toxicity to nervous system • Parkinson’s disease

  35. Reduction Reactions • Reductive dehalogenation • rate affected strongly by • ease of breaking the C—X bond • C—X bond strength • stability of carbon radical formed • electron-withdrawing substituents stabilize carbon radical • rate affected weakly by • tendency of C—X to accept electron (electronegativity) • stabilization of carbon radical by geminal halogen

  36. Reduction Reactions Rank the following three halogenated ethanes by order of reductive dehalogenation rate from slowest to fastest:
