Pyrolysis of 3-Ethylpent-2-ene - a Further Evidence for a Homoallylic-RearrangementThe pyrolysis of 3-ethylpent-2-ene has been studied under conditions of steam cracking in the temperature range 600 - 700°C in a laboratory scale tubular reactor. The main products of decomposition were methane, 2-ethylbutadiene and isoprene. The majority of products obviously arose from H abstraction and radical addition, typical for radical chain reactions in olefins decomposition including phenomena resulting from allylic resonance. The formation of isoprene, however, could only be explained by a reaction network including a homoallylic rearrangement.
