Abstract:J. M. PROKIPCAK and P. A. FORTE. Can. J. Chem. 53,3481 (1975). Pyrolysis of aldoxime carbonates at relatively low temperatures (100-120°C) produced nitriles in excellent yields. These decompositions followed first-order kinetics and the decomposition rates showed little dependence on inductive effects or solvent polarity. Low entropy values along with the fact that the E and Z-isomers behaved quite differently led to the proposal of a cyclic transition state for the decompositions.J. M. PROKIPCAK et P. A.

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.
