Abstract
Decyl acetate and decene pyrolysis under the same reaction conditions show that the formation of the minor products during the pyrolysis of esters occurs by a parallel, and not a secondary, reaction. The radioactivity observed in the CO 2 and CO produced during the pyrolysis of 1-hexyl acetate-1- 14 C and the radioactivity in the methane from the pyrolysis of 1-hexyl acetate-2- 14 C strongly suggested a radical reaction pathway for the formation of the minor products. Considering the above results together with the radioactivity data of gas samples from the pyrolysis of 1-decyl-1- 14 C acetate, 1-hexyl-1- 14 C acetate, and 1-heptadecyl-1- 14 C acetate leads to the conclusion that the mechanism of pyrolysis of esters may be viewed as a cyclo-D E D N A N mechanism for the formation of the major alkene product and a radical mechanism for the formation of minor products
