THE VALUES OF ΔfHo298.15 AND So298.15 OF THE RADICALS, FORMED BY THE ABSTRACTION OF H ATOM FROM THE p-BENZYLPHENOL AND DIMETHYL PHTHALATE

In the present work, the standard thermochemical properties of the most thermochemically stable radicals (p-Benzylenephenol and 1-Methyl-2-methylene phthalate), formed by abstraction of the hydrogen atom from the p-Benzylphenol and Dimethyl phthalate are determined using the results of B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p), M06-2X/6-311++G(d,p) and RO/CBS-4M calculations. The consistent values of the standard enthalpies of formation of these structures are determined using the corrected thermochemistry of the homodesmotic and atomization reactions. The values of the standard entropies of these compounds and the temperature dependencies of their thermochemical properties are also calculated in the present work. It is found that the H-transfer reaction of HO2 with p-Benzylenephenol is thermochemically favorable and can lead to the chain oxidation of p-Benzylenephenol at relatively low temperatures.
