The thermal decomposition of 5-membered rings: A laser pyrolysis study

The mechanisms of pyrolysis of cyclopentadiene, furan, pyrrole and thiophene have been investigated using a combination of IR laser powered homogeneous pyrolysis, chemical and physical trapping of radical intermediates, and use of precursors specifically designed to generate selected radical intermediates. The results confirm the central role played by free radicals in the cases of cyclopentadiene and thiophene, and the dominant step of 1,2-H shifts in the cases of furan and pyrrole. The experimental results may be interpreted according to the high level ab initio calculations recently reported in the literature.
Thermal Rearrangements, XXIII. - The Thermogram of a C6H6 Chemistry in the Temperature Range from 450 to 730 deg C

The thermal isomerization of 1,5-hexadiyne (1) and its 2>-labeled derivative (1a) was studied in the temperature range 450 - 730 deg C and in the presence of different carrier gases (N2, H2, D2, N2/toluene).By detailed analysis (GC, GCMS, NMR) all volatile reaction products were identified and determined quantitatively by using hexafluorobenzene as an internal standard.The experimental data show clearly that the reaction products are formed by two different routes: (i) electrocyclization leading to dimethylene cyclobutene (3) at temperatures up to about 600 deg C and (ii) radical reaction leading to benzene (4) and pentafulvene (5) at temperatures above 550 deg C.Cyclopentadienylmethyl radicals are supposed to be the essential radical intermediates. - Key Words: Isomerization, thermal / Radicals / D-Labeling / 1,5-Hexadiyne / Pentafulvene / Rearrangement, homoallyl

2-Propynyl radicals (C3H3) were generated from the respective chloride or bromide by the reaction Na + C3H3X -> C3H3 + NaX in a low-pressure flow reactor fed by multislit-diffusion burner.The temperature range was 623 to 673 K and total pressures of 300 and 600 Pa were applied.Analyses were performed by nozzle beam/mass spectrometry and by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry.The rate constants of the primary reactions were determined as k(Na + C3H3Cl) = 1.6E13 and k(Na + C3H3Br) = 7.8E13 cm3 mol-1 s-1, independent of temperature within the above range.The overall recombination rate constant of 2-propynyl was found to be 3.4E13 cm3 mol-1 s-1.The recombination products of propynyl were 1,5-hexadiyne, 1,2-hexadien-5-yne and 1,2,4,5-hexatetraene.Besides these direct products also 1,3-hexadien-5-yne and benzene were detected in relatively high yields which decreased with increasing pressure.A reaction mechanism via a propynyl-cyclopropene intermediate by which the chemically activated primary recombination products can rearrange to benzene and 1,3-hexadien-5-yne is discussed. - Keywords: Reaction kinetics / Hydrocarbon radicals / Sodium reactions / Benzene formation
