Abstract

Abstract The rates of gas-phase elimination reactions of N-benzoyl and N-acetyl- propanamide and N-benzoyl and N-acetyl-2-methylpropanamide are measured and discussed. They undergo unimolecular first-order elimination reactions. The reactivities of N- benzoylamides have been compared with each other and with those of N-acetylamides. The kinetic data together with the product analysis reveals that, the statistical factor of the ...
