✦ Synopsis
The thermal reactions of endoand ao-5-cyanobicyclo-[2.2.2loct-2-ene and their transand cis-6-methyl-substituted derivatives have been investigated in the gas phase between 518 and 630 K. Each product decomposes by two parallel first-order retro-Diels-Alder reactions, a main one with formation of cyclohexa-1,3-diene and a minor one with elimination of ethene. Slight isomerizations are also observed. The kinetic results can be explained in terms of a biradical mechanism. The rate-determining step is shown to depend on the amount of resonance energy in the biradical. Heats of formation and entropies of the bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-enes studied are estimated.
*From Table I and known values of rate constants [6]
, one calculates that the back Diels-Alder reactions of CHD are negligible.
