Abstract

The rates of the gas phasè elimination of 3-butyn-1-yl acetate were studied in a static system over the temperature range of 340–385°C and pressure range of 53–180 Torr. The reaction is homogeneous, unimolecular and follows a first order rate law. π-bonds adjacent to the β-carbon of ethyl acetate increase the rate in direct proportion to their effect on the acidity of the Cβ−H bond.

Abstract

Скорость газофазного разложения 3-бутин-1-ила цетата била исследована в статической системе, в интервале температур 340–385°C и при давлениях 53–180 торр. Реакция является гомогенной, мономолекулярной и следует закону скорости первого порядка. π-Связи в соседстве с β-углеродом этилацетата прямо-пропорционално увеличивают скорость, вследствие их эффекта на кислотность связи Cβ−H.
