## Abstract An analytical and kinetic study of the thermal reaction of __cis__β or __trans__β2βbutene has been performed in a static system over the temperature range of 480β550Β°C and at a low extent of reaction and initial pressures of 10β100 torr. The rate constant of the unimolecular __cisβtran
H2S increases the thermal isomerization of butene-2 cis (B,) to butene-1 (B1) and butene-2 trans (Bt) around 500Β°C. This effect is interpreted on the basis of a free radical mechanism in which buten-2-yl and thiyl free radicals are the main chain carriers. B1 formation is essentially explained by th
