E. Taskinen et N. Lindholm, RELATIVE THERMODYNAMIC STABILITIES OF THE ISOMERIC PROPENYLBENZENES, Journal of physical organic chemistry, 7(5), 1994, pp. 256-258
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.
