Notes:
Highly dilute mixtures of 1,3-butadiene and 1,3-butadiene-1,1,4,4-d4 were pyrolyzed behind reflected and incident shock waves, respectively. Concentrations of H and D atoms were measured by resonance absorption spectroscopy. In the early stages of the reaction, nearly equal amounts of H and D were formed from CD2CHCHCD2, indicating that loss of H from C2 followed by loss of D from C1 is a more important reaction than breaking of the central C—C bond. Overall, rate constants for atom-forming reactions are much slower than rate constants for disappearance of butadiene in earlier experiments, suggesting that most of the butadiene disappears by processes that do not involve H or D atoms or by radicals that produce them rapidly.
