The orientation of addition of H atoms to the asymmetric olefins propylene, butene-I, and isobutene has been determined as a function of atom concentration, olefin concentration, hydrogen pressure, total pressure, and olefin conversion. Conditions have been determined for which complicating secondar

Abstract
The pyrolysis of ethylene–propylene and ethylene–isobutene mixtures has been studied in a static system over the temperature range of 682°–754° K and for initial pressures of each olefin of 33–300 torr. The following molecular ene reactions were observed and the rate constants measured:

Using thermodynamic data, rate constants for the corresponding retro‐ene decomposition reactions were calculated and compared to kinetic data reported for similar compounds. Other products were formed by radical chain processes, the main higher molecular weight ones being cyclopentene and 1‐methylcyclopentene. A mechanism involving addition of allyl radicals is suggested for the formation of these products.

The rate of addition of oxygen (3P) atoms to propylene has been investigated by the flash photolysis resonance fluorescence technique. Using 02 as the atom source, the reaction was studied from 201 to 424°K. A linear least squares treatment of the Arrhenius data gave: k=(4.17+0.33) X lo-'\* exp[ -(7
## Abstract The pyrolysis of ethylene–butene‐2 mixtures has been studied in a static system over the temperature range of 689°‐754°k and for initial pressures of each olefin of 20–200 torr. The two main addition products were cyclopentene and 3‐methylpentene‐1. Kinetic evidence indicated that cyclo
