Abstract
AbstractThe pyrolysis of methyl 4‐bromocrotonate in the temperature range 300–340°C and pressure range 74–170 torr has been shown to be homogeneous, unimolecular, and to follow a first‐order rate law. The reaction was carried out in a static system, seasoned with allyl bromide, and in the presence of the radical chain exhibitor toluene. The rate coefficients are represented by the Arrhenius expression: log k1(s−1) = (13.30 ± 0.66) − (185.2 ± 7.5) kJ mol−1 (2.303RT)−1. The carbomethoxy group appears to provide anchimeric assistance in the process of dehydrobromination and lactone products formation. The partial rates for the parallel reaction have been estimated, reported, and discussed. The pyrolysis elimination is explained in terms of an intimate ion pair‐type of mechanism.
