Abstract

The rates of the gas phase pyrolysis of six P-substituted ethyl acetates were studied in a static system over the temperature range 319-450" C and the pressure range 63-207 mmHg. In seasoned vessels the reactions are homogeneous, follow a first-order rate law, and are unimolecular. The temperature dependence of the rate constants is given by the following Arrhenius equations for the compounds indicated: 2-(dimethy1amino) ethyl acetate, log k ( ...
