Abstract
2-Methyl-2-propanethiol was thermally decomposed in a quartz tube utilizing a flow method. The conditions (300 to 500/sup 0/ with exposure times of 10 to 120 seconds) employed in this study resulted in decompositions ranging from 0 to 97 percent. The predominant sulfur-containing decomposition product was hydrogen sulfide. In addition small amounts of elemental sulfur and residual sulfur were found. Isobutylene and isobutane were the major gaseous hydrocarbons produced. A free radical chain type decomposition mechanism is proposed.
