Abstract
The kinetics of the elimination of 2-methyl-2-pentanol in the gas phase were determined in a static system, seasoned with allyl bromide, and catalyzed by hydrogen chloride gas. The working temperature and pressure ranges were 385–445 °C and 38–291 Torr, respectively. Steric acceleration appears to be a reasonable explanation for rate enhancement in the dehydration process. This reaction is believed to proceed through a six-membered cyclic transition state type of mechanism.
