The thermal unimolecular decomposition of pent-2-yne has been studied over the temperature range of 988-1234 K using the technique of very low-pressure pyrolysis (VLPP). The main reaction pathway is C4—C5 bond fission producing the resonance-stabilized 3-methylpropargyl radical. There is a concurrent process producing molecular hydrogen and penta-1,2,4-triene presumably via the intermediate formation of cis-penta-1,3-diene. The 1,4-hydrogen elimination from cis-penta-1,3-diene is the rate-determining step in the molecular pathway. This is supported by an independent VLPP study of cis- and trans-penta-1,3-diene. RRKM calculations show that the experimental rate constants for C—C bond fission are consistent with the following high-pressure rate expression at 1100 K: \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$\log k_1 = \left({s^{ - 1}} \right) = \left({16.0 \pm 0.3} \right) - \left({72.6 \pm 2.0} \right)/\theta $$\end{document} where θ = 2.303RT kcal/mol and the A factor was assigned from the results of shock-tube studies of related alkynes. The activation energy leads to ΔHf,3000[CH3C≡CĊH2] = 70.3 and DH3000[CH3CCCH2—H] = 87.4 kcal/mol. The resonance stabilization energy of the 3-methylpropargyl radical is 10.6 ± 2.5 kcal/mol, which is consistent with previous results for this and other propargylic radicals.
