Abstract

Three kinds of t-butyl per (trans-2-substituted cyclopropyl) acetates (R H, CH3, C6H5) were synthesized from the corresponding acyl chlorides and thermally decomposed in cyclohexane to investigate the chemical stability and behaviour of the cyclopropylcarbinyl radical. Clean first-order kinetics were obtained in all of the thermal decomposition reactions. The experimental fact that the decompositoin rates and activation parameters of ...
