The thermal decompositions of I-chloro-1-fluoroethane and 1-chloro-1,l-difluorethane at atmospheric pressure have been studied in the temperature range 500-6OO0C in a flow system. The dehydrochlorinations are homogenous in a carbonaceous reactor and unimolecular. The rate constants are given by The criteria for molecular or chain processes in thermal dehydrochlorinations are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
