## Abstract The kinetics of gasβphase decomposition of methyl isocyanate have been investigated in the range of 427β548Β°C. Two decomposition routes are followed; the predominant one is a radicalβchain process giving CO, H~2~, and HCN as major products, which has an order of 1.5 and an Arrhenius equ

β¦ Synopsis
The kinetics of the gas-phase decomposition of ethyl, isopropyl, and t -butyl isocyanates have been studied in the temperature range of 380-530OC. t -Butyl isocyanate decomposes almost exclusively by a unimolecular route to isobutene and HNCO, but in EtNCO and i - PrNCO this route competes with a free-radical chain which produces CO, CHI, and HCN or CHsCN. In i-PrNCO, however, the chain process is very rapidly inhibited by the propene formed in the parallel unimolecular route. A minor heterogeneous bimolecular decomposition in each case gives rise to carbon dioxide and a carbodiimide. Mechanisms and trends in the alkyl isocyanates from methyl through t -butyl are discussed.
