Abstract
Six dialkyl fumarates were pyrolyzed and their rate of gas-phase therm olysis was measured in the range 400-680 K. The activation energy for each fumarate was calculated. Product analysis using NMR, FT-IR and on -line GC/MS was used to propose a mechanism for the pyrolysis. (C) 199 7 Elsevier Science Limited.
