Gas phase thermolysis of alkyl allyl ethers, thioethers and amines

Abstract

The pyrolysis of cyclohexyl allyl ether and thioether has been studied in a stirred-flow reactor in the temperature range of 360–470 °C and pressures up to 10 Torr. The first order rate coefficients yielded the Arrhenius parameters log A=11.22±0.23, Ea=169±3 kJ mol−1 and log A=10.42±0.12, Ea=140±3 kJ mol−1, respectively. The mechanism of the pyrolysis of alkyl allyl ethers, thioethers and amines is discussed using literature data.
