Abstract
The gas-phase kinetics and mechanism of the homogeneous elimination of CO from butyraldehyde in the presence of HCl has been experimentally studied. The reaction is homogeneous and follows the second-order kinetics with the following rate expression: log k1 (s−1 L mol−1) = (13.27 ± 0.36) – (173.2 ± 4.4) kJ mol−1(2.303RT)−1. Experimental data suggested a concerted four-membered cyclic transition state type of mechanism. The first and rate-determining step occurs through a four-membered cyclic transition state to produce propane and formyl chloride. The formyl chloride intermediate rapidly decomposes to CO and HCl gases.
