Abstract: | The thermal isomerization of cis-hexatriene (cHT) to cyclohexadiene (CHD) and the dimerization of CHD and trans-hexatriene (tHT) in the liquid phase in the temperature range 380 K-473 K are reported. The rate coefficients are: for the cHT to CHD isomerization for tHT dimerizationlog and for CHD dimerization; endo form exo form © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. |
