The pyrolysis of ethyl acetate has been studied by the very low-pressure pyrolysis (VLPP) technique. The results obtained agree well with the previously determined high-pressure Arrhenius parameters where log k, = 12.6 -48.0/8. The rate constants given by these parameters have also been shown to be

β¦ Synopsis
The kinetics of the unimolecular decomposition of phenyl acetate into phenol and ketene, reaction (1):
has been studied under very low-pressure conditions between 950 and 1120 K. In this range alternative processes such as the Fries rearrangement to o-hydroxyacetophenone or bond fission into phenoxyl and acetyl radicals are not observed. Based on present and previous evidence a novel four-center transition state is proposed for reaction (1) which corresponds to the high-pressure Arrhenius expression log (k,, s-'1 = 12.8 -56.2/0, 0 = 4.575 x 10-3T kcal/mol.

The unimolecularity of the thermal dehydrogenation of cyclopentene has been confirmed using the technique of very low-pressure pyrolysis (VLPP). Application of RRKM theory shows that the experimental unirnolecular rate constants obtained over the temperature range of 942O-1152OK are consistent with
## Abstract The thermal decomposition of __t__βbutylmethyl ether has been studied using the VLPP technique. The recommended Arrhenius parameters for the molecular elimination, reaction (1), are __A__(800Β°K) = 10^1 3, 9^ sec^β1^ and __E__~a~ (800Β°K) = 59.0 Β± 1.0 kcal/mole. No radical reactions occur
A readily applicable empirical formula is obtained for the collisional efficiency for energy transfer between a highly vibrationally excited reactant and a seasoned (usually quartz) wall, in terms of the molecular weight, potential well depth and dipole moment of the reactant.

The high-pressure absolute rate constants for the decomposition of nitrosobenzene and pentafluoronitrosobenzene were determined using the very-low-pressure pyrolysis (VLPP) technique. Bond dissociation energies of DHo(C6Hs-NO) = 51.5 f 1 kcal/mole and DH" (C&s-NO) = 50.5 f 1 kcal/mole could be dedu
The very low-pressure pyrolysis (VLPP) technique has been applied to the pyrolysis of di-t-amyl peroxide (DTAP) over the temperature range 523-633Β°K.
