Abstract
The kinetics of the elimination of 2-methyl-2-pentanol in the gas phas e were determined in a static system, seasoned with allyl bromide, and catalyzed by hydrogen chloride gas. The working temperature and press ure ranges were 385-445-degrees-C and 38-291 Torr, respectively. Steri c acceleration appears to be a reasonable explanation for rate enhance ment in the dehydration process. This reaction is believed to proceed through a six-membered cyclic transition state type of mechanism.
