Abstract Fukui's IRC is obtained for the pyrolysis of ethyl formate within the level of MNDO molecular orbital calculations. The activation enthalpy and entropy can be evaluated from the calculated partition functions and compared with the observed values. It is suggested that the pyrolysis would be significantly promoted when it occurs in an aprotic polar solvent.
