Calculation of the C-H bond dissociation energies in linear and cyclic acetals and thioacetals from kinetic data
The method of estimation of bond dissociation energies from the rate constants for radical reactions developed in terms of the parabolic model was used to calculate the dissociation energies of C-H bonds in more than 100 linear and cyclic acetals and thioacetals. A comparative analysis of the calculated bond strengths with those in other compounds was performed.
