Notes:
The pyrolysis of n-propyl allyl sulfide has been studied in static and stirred-flow systems at temperatures between 270 and 400°C. Propene and 2,4,6-triethyl-1,3,5-trithiane were the only reaction products. The order of the reaction was 0.99 ± 0.05 at 377°C. The first-order rate coefficients followed the Arrhenius equation \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$k{\rm (s}^{- 1} {\rm) = 10}^{{\rm 11}{\rm .52} \pm {\rm 0}{\rm .16}} {\rm exp[(- 157} \pm {\rm 2) kJ/mol/R}T]$$\end{document} The rate coefficients and the product distribution remained unchanged when cyclohexene was used as carrier gas. A molecular mechanism involving a six-centered cyclic transition state is proposed to explain the present results. This mechanism is further supported by the pyrolysis of 4-thia-5-dideutero-1-heptene at 377°C, where only 3-deuteropropene is formed. The kinetic deuterium isotope effect had a value of 2.6 ± 0.3 at this temperature. The results are compared with those obtained in the pyrolysis of n-butyl allyl sulfide previously reported.
