β¦ Synopsis
N-Methyl-N-phenyl-tert-butylsulfenamide (MPSA) and morpholinyl-tert-butylsulfenamide (MOSA) were thermolyzed in a stirred-flow reactor at temperatures of 340-390 Β°C and pressures of 7-13 Torr, using toluene as carrier gas, at residence times of 0.3-1.3 s. Isobutene was formed in 99% yield through first-order reactions having the following Arrhenius parameters (A,s Γ1 , E a , kJ mol Γ1 ): MPSA, log A = 12.41 AE 0.02, E a = 158.8 AE 0.2; MOSA, log A = 12.91 AE 0.22, E a = 159 AE 3. It is proposed that the elimination of isobutene takes place by unimolecular reaction mechanisms involving polar, four-center cyclic transition states, forming S-unsubstituted thiohydroxylamines as coproducts. Thermochemical parameters, estimated by semiempirical AM1 calculations, are reported for the latter and for the parent molecules.

The elimination kinetics of ethyl, isopropyl and tert-butyl N,N-diethylcarbamates were investigated in a static reaction vessel over the temperature range 220-400 Β°C and pressure range 17-160 Torr. These reactions are homogeneous, unimolecular and follow a first-order rate law. The temperature depen
