โฆ Synopsis
The unimolecular decomposition of 3,4dihydro-2H-pyran was investigated behind reflected shock waves by monitoring infrared absorption at 9.44 pm. The decomposition proceeded via a direct molecular process to ethylene and acrolein. The Arrhenius expression for the decomposition rate constant, k= IO"-exp( -51.6 kcal mol-'/RT) s-', applies in the temperature range 990-1245 K and density range (0.5-2.0)x IO-' mol cmm3. The results are in good agreement with an extrapolation of data obtained at lower temperatures. A reasonable structure of the transition state for the lowest energy process was calculated by the SCF-MO method. The vibration mode of the transition state corresponds to the direct molecular decomposition, in support of the experimental results,
