The pyrolysis of 3-ethylpent-2-ene has been studied under conditions of steam cracking in the temperature range 600-700 deg C in a laboratory scale tubular reactor.The main products of decomposition were methane, 2-ethylbutadiene and isoprene.The majority of products obviously arose from H abstraction and radical addition, typical for radical chain reactions in olefins decomposition including phenomena resulting from allylic resonance.The formation of isoprene, however, could only be explained by a reaction network including a homoallylic rearrangement.
