The stoichiometries and kinetics for the reaction of 02 - with halogenated hydrocarbons (alkanes, alkenes, and aromatics) are summarized in Table 7-1.18-24 [The normalized first-order rate constants, fcj / [S], were determined by the rotated ring-disk electrode method under pseudo-first-order conditions ([substrate] > [O2-)]. ... 

Both p,p -DDT and methoxychlor are rapidly deprotonated by HO in aprotic solvents with subsequent elimination of Cl to form the dehydrochlorination products that is, DDT forms DDE (Scheme 7-6). The same products are formed in their reactions with 02 -. Because the reaction rates that are measured by the rotated ring-disk electrode method are fairly rapid, the primary step must be a direct reaction with 02 - and not with HO [from the reaction of 02 - with trace water in the solvent (2 02 - + H2O - 02 + HOO + HO )]. Hence, the initial reaction with 02 - is deprotonation followed by elimination of Cl to form DDE.

Latonen et al. [1083] prepared a copolymer of 3-octylthiophene and paraphenylene. The recorded in situ infrared spectra showed bands previously found with pure polyparaphenylene (PPP) and POT. A copolymer of 3,4-i ,3, 4 -d dithienothiophene and aniline was studied by Mirzynska et al. [1084] using the rotating ring-disk electrode method.
