Six analogues and derivatives (1-6) of 3-phenylhydrazonopentane-2,4-dione (7) were subjected to gas-phase thermolysis. The Arrhenius log A (s-1) and Ea (kJ mol-1) of the analogues (1-5) are, respectively: 10.42 and 140.8 for 1-cyano-1-phenyl-hydrazonopropanone (1), 11.19 and 135.4 for 1-cyano-1-(\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \underline{\rm{p}} $\end{document}-nitrophenylhydrazono)-propanone (2) , 10.68 and 144.9 for 1-cyano-1-(\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \underline{\rm{p}} $\end{document}-methoxyphenylhydrazono)propanone (3), 11.76 and 137.8 for 1-cyano-3-phenyl-1-phenylhydrazonopropanone (4), and 11.29 and 145.9 for 1-cyano-1-phenylhydrazonobutanone (5). The corresponding values for ethyl 3-oxo-2-phenylhydrazonobutanoate (6) are 11.90 s-1 and 143.3 kJ mol-1. The rates of reaction at 600 K are compared with those of the title diketone (7) and of pentane-2,4-dione (8) and rationalized in terms of a plausible elimination pathway involving a semiconcerted six-membered transition state. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
