Abstract
The kinetics of the thermal decomposition of transโ1,2โdicyanocyclobutane, which yields only vinyl cyanide, have been studied in the temperature range of 570ยฐโ660ยฐK using a stirredโflow reactor. The reaction was found to be first order and homogeneous with rate constants represented by the Arrhenius equation
where ฮธ = 2.303 RT kcal/mol. The Arrhenius parameters are considerably higher than previously reported. On the assumption of a biradical mechanism the results are consistent with a cyano stabilization energy of โผ5 kcal/mol, in good agreement with the results of recent studies of related systems.
