Abstract
Vibrationally excited pentyl‐1, ‐2, and ‐3 radicals were formed selectively by the addition of thermal H atoms to the various pentene isomers with approximately 47 kcal/mole of vibrational energy. Decomposition products other than those expected, along with their pressure dependences, support the fact that either 1,2 or 1,3 hydrogen migrations with either a 3‐ or 4‐member cyclic transition state is occurring with a k~a~ of approximately 3 × 10^5^ or 6 × 10^5^ sec^−1^. A corresponding critical energy of 33 or 31 kcal/mole is found.
