Abstract
The relative thermodynamic stabilities of 2-propenylbenzene (allylbenz ene), and the E and Z forms of 1-propenylbenzene were determined over the temperature range 50-170-degrees-C by chemical equilibration in DM SO solution with t-BuOK as catalyst. The values of the thermodynamic p arameters DELTAG(formal), DELTAH(formal) and DELTAS(formal) at 298.15 K for each isomerization reaction between the title compounds were eva luated.
