Over the past several years, a controversy has developed over the value of the heat of formation of the vinyl radical. Reported values for AHf(C2H3) range from 59.6 kcal/mol [l] to 71.5 kcal/mol [2] and even higher values can be cited from earlier work. Recently, Ayranci and Back [31 reported a valu

Abstract
The thermal unimolecular decomposition of three vinylethers has been studied in a VLPP apparatus. The highβpressure rate constant for the retroβene reaction of ethylvinylether was fit by log k (sec^β1^) = (11.47 + 0.25) β (43.4 Β± 1.0)/2.303 RT at <T> = 900 K and that of t β butylvinylether by log k (sec^β1^) = (12.00 Β± 0.27) β (38.4 Β± 1.0)/2.303 RT at <T> = 800 K. No evidence for the competition of the higher energy homolytic bondβfission process could be obtained from the experimental data. The rate constant compatible with the Cο£ΏO bond scission reaction in the case of benzylvinylether was log k (sec^β1^) = (16.63 Β± 0.30) β (53.74 Β± 1.0)/2.303 RT at <T> = 750 K. Together with Ξ__H__~f,300~^0^(benzylΒ·) = 47.0 kcal/mol, the activation energy for this reaction results in Ξ__H__~f,300~^0^(CH~2~CHO) = +3.0 Β± 2.0 kcal/mol and a corresponding resonance stabilization energy of 3.2 Β± 2.0 kcal/mol for 2βethanalyl radical.
