The decomposition of acetonyl bromide, isopropenylmethylether, and hexanedione-2,5 was studied using the very-low-pressure pyrolysis (VLPP) technique. The acetonyl radical is a product of each reaction. Arrhenius parameters determined are or acetonyl bromide ← acetonyl + Br: \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ \log k\left({\sec ^{- 1}} \right) = 16.0 - 62.5/\theta\,{\rm at}\,300^{\rm o} {\rm K} $$\end{document} and for isopropenylmethylether ← acetonyl + CH3: \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ \log k\left({\sec ^{- 1}} \right) = 15.8 - 66.3/\theta\,{\rm at}\,300^{\rm o} {\rm K} $$\end{document} These lead to values of acetonyl stabilization energy (SE) of 0.8 and -4.0 kcal/mol, respectively. Comparison of the pyrolyses of hexanedione-2,5 and 2,5-dimethylhexane indicate a value of SE ∼ 2 kcal/mol. The total of these results is taken, along with previous work, to indicate that 0 ≲ SE ≲ 2 kcal/mol.
