Abstract
Cyclopropyl cyanide isomerizes in the gas phase at 660°–760°K and 2–89 torr to give mainly cis‐ and trans‐crotonitrile and allyl cyanide, with traces of methacrylonitrile. The reactions are first order, homogeneous, and unaffected by the presence of radical‐chain inhibitors. The rate constants are given by Overall:
cis‐Crotonitrile:
trans‐Crotonitrile:
Allyl cyanide:
where the error limits are standard deviations. On the basis of a biradical mechanism, it is deduced that the CHCN radical center is resonance stabilized by ca. 30 kJ mole^−1^. Approximate equilibrium data are given for interconversion of the 1‐ and 3‐cyanopropenes.

The gas-phase thermal isomerization of N-propylidenecyclopropylamine has been studied in the temperature range of 573" to 635°K. The reaction is homogeneous and kinetically first order and yields 5-ethyl-1-pyrroline as the sole product. The rate constants are independent of pressure in the range of
## Abstract The thermal decomposition of ethylallylether (EAE) has been studied in the gas phase over the temperature range of 560–648°K. Propylene and acetaldehyde are the only reaction products observed. The reaction is apparently homogeneous in nature and independent of the pressure of EAE and o
