Abstract

The thermal decomposition of anisole vapor dilute in argon has been studied in a perfectly stirred reactor over the temperature range 850-1000 K and at total pressures of (16-120) X lo- ) atm. Decomposition of anisole takes place principally by the reaction C6H50CH3-C6H50+ CH,, for which the rate constant kl was found to be (2.9 A 1.0) X 10l5 exp (-64.0* 0.6 kcal mol- IlRT) sl. Phenoxy radicals thus generated may decompose unimolecularly to ...
