Abstract

AbstractThe kinetics of the gas phase decomposition of 1,2‐epoxy‐2‐methylpropane has been studied over the temperature range 377°–436°C at pressures between 5.3 and 61.6 torr. Isomerization reactions to give isobutyraldehyde, isopropenyl methyl ether, and 2‐methyl‐prop‐2‐en‐l‐ol account for over 95% of the epoxide decomposition. These isomerizations are homogeneous first‐order, nonradical processes:
