Rates of thermal decomposition of N-acetylurea (l), N-acetylthiourea (2), N,N'-diacetylthiourea (3), and N-acetylthiobenzamide (4) have been measured over a 45 K range for each compound. The molecules were found to undergo unimolecular first-order elimination reactions for which log A = 11. 9, 11.6,

✦ Synopsis
The first-order rate constants of N-acetyl-NЈ-phenylthiourea (1), N-benzoyl-NЈ-phenyl-(2a), N-benzoyl-NЈ-(4-nitrophenyl)-(2b), N-benzoyl-NЈ-(3-chlorophenyl) (2c), N-benzoyl-NЈ-(4-chlorophenyl) (2d), and N-benzoyl-NЈ-(4-methylphenyl)thiourea (2e)
were measured between 423 and 500 K. The reactions were homogeneous and unimolecular with log A (s 1מ ) ס 12. 0, 13.2, 13.8, 10.9, 11.8, and 12.7 and E a kJ mol 1מ ס 130.3, 141.4, 134.6, 114.9, 124.1, and 141.1, respectively. The rate data gave good Hammett correlation with r 0 values, and q is 1.99 at 450 K.
