Rate constants for the reactions of Cl atoms with cycloheptane, cyclooctane, cyclodecane, cyclohexanone, cycloheptanone, cyclooctanone, and cyclodecanone have been measured at 297 ± 2 K and atmospheric pressure of air using a relative rate method. n ‐Butane, with a rate constant of 2.05 × 10 −10 cm 3 molecule −1 s −1 , was used as the reference compound, and the rate constants obtained (in units of 10 −10 cm 3 molecule −1 s −1 ) were cycloheptane, 4.22 ± 0.15; cyclooctane, 4.57 ± 0.15; cyclodecane, 5.13 ± 0.15; cyclohexanone, 1.79 ± 0.06; cycloheptanone, 2.46 ± 0.07; cyclooctanone, 2.97 ± 0.09; and cyclodecanone, 3.65 ± 0.15, where the indicated errors are two least‐squares standard deviations and do not include uncertainties in the rate constant for the reference compound n ‐butane. Room temperature rate constants for the C 5 –C 10 cycloketones indicate that the CH 2 groups adjacent to the carbonyl group are almost totally deactivated toward H‐atom abstraction by Cl atoms, and this also applies to acyclic ketones. A previous structure–reactivity relationship for Cl + alkanes has been extended to include acyclic and cyclic ketones. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 45: 52–58, 2013
