Abstract
The pyrolysis of the n-alkylbenzenes is reviewed with emphasis on the radical chain mechanism and on the reactions of the intermediate radic als. The effects of the experimental conditions and conversion on the types and distribution of the final products are also evaluated. The A rrhenius rate parameters are summarized for both the elementary steps and the overall decomposition reactions.
