The Thermal Dimerization of Butadiene, and the Equilibrium between Butadiene and Vinylcyclohexene

摘要

The kinetics of the dimerization of butadiene and of the dissociation of vinylcyclohexene have been considered in the light of thermodynamic equilibrium calculations. The lack of accord between the results is resolved if the dissociation of vinylcyclohexene is given by the rate expressionkdequals;5.02times;1015explpar;minus;61,800sol;RTrpar;secminus;1.
