Abstract
Based on a previously developed approach to the theory of unimolecular reac tions of structural isomerization, the most probable mechanism of the conve rsion of nonbranched (linear) isomeric forms of unsaturated hydrocarbons to branched structures was proposed. It was demonstrated for the C8H10 compou nd, as an example, that such a rearrangement should proceed through an inte rmediate stage of formation of a ring followed by its opening.
