Notes:
The pyrolyses of four alkyl allyl sulfides with substituents on the α—C atom of the alkyl moiety have been studied in a stirred-flow system over the temperature range 340-400°C and pressures between 2 and 12 torr. The only products formed are propene and thioaldehydes. The reactions showed first-order kinetics with the rate coefficients following the Arrhenius equations: Chloromethyl allyl sulfide: \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ k({\rm s}^{{\rm - 1}}) = 10^{10.74 \pm 0.23} \exp ( - 144 \pm 3){\rm kJ/mol}RT $$\end{document} Cyanomethyl allyl sulfide: \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ k({\rm s}^{{\rm - 1}}) = 10^{10.20 \pm 0.19} \exp ( - 129 \pm 2){\rm kJ/mol}RT $$\end{document} 1-cyanoethyl allyl sulfide: \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ k({\rm s}^{{\rm - 1}}) = 10^{11.09 \pm 0.18} \exp ( - 141.5 \pm 2.2){\rm kJ/mol}RT $$\end{document} Neopentyl allyl sulfide: \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ k({\rm s}^{{\rm - 1}}) = 10^{10.54 \pm 0.24} \exp ( - 144 \pm 3){\rm kJ/mol}RT $$\end{document}The effects of these and other substituents on the reactivity is discussed in relation with the stabilization of a polar six-centered transition state. The results support a non-concerted mechanism where the 1-5 α—H atom shift is assisted by its acidic character.
