Chuchani, Gabriel published the artcileThe pyrolysis kinetics of ethyl esters in the gas phase. The alkyl substituent effect at the acyl carbon, Name: Ethyltert-butylacetate, the publication is International Journal of Chemical Kinetics (1983), 15(5), 455-9, database is CAplus.
The gas-phase elimination of Et 3-methylbutanoate and Et 3,3-dimethylbutanoate was studied, in a static system, at 360-420° and 71-286 torr. The reactions are homogeneous, unimol., and follow a 1st-order rate law. The temperature dependence of the rate coefficient were determined from the Arrhenius equations. Alkyl substituents at the acyl carbon of Et esters yield very close values in rates. Consequently it is rather difficult to offer some conclusion concerning the effect of these substituents.
International Journal of Chemical Kinetics published new progress about 5340-78-3. 5340-78-3 belongs to esters-buliding-blocks, auxiliary class Aliphatic Chain, name is Ethyltert-butylacetate, and the molecular formula is C8H16O2, Name: Ethyltert-butylacetate.
