Joint experimental and theoretical studies of the mechanism for the gas phase elimination kinetics of methyl 2,2-dimethyl-3-hydroxypropionate.

J. Phys. Chem. A 113(15) , 3491-7, (2009)

Methyl 2,2-dimethyl-3-hydroxypropionate was found to decompose, in a static system, mainly to methyl isobutyrate and formaldehyde. The reaction rates were affected in packed and unpacked clean Pyrex vessels, demonstrating little but significant surface effect...
