The kinetics of the gas phase decomposition of 1,2-epoxy-2-methylpropane has been studied over the temperature range 377°-436°C at pressures between 5.3 and 61.6 torr. Isomerization reactions to give isobutyraldehyde, isopropenyl methyl ether, and 2-methyl-prop-2-en-l-ol account for over 95% of the epoxide decomposition. These isomerizations are homogeneous first-order, nonradical processes: \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$\begin{array}{l} k({\rm isobutyraldehyde)} = {\rm 10}^{{\rm 13}{\rm .32} \pm {\rm 0}{\rm .18}} \exp (- 52720 \pm 570/1.987T)\sec ^{- 1} \\ {\rm}k({\rm isopropenyl methyl ether)} = {\rm 10}^{{\rm 13}{\rm .55} \pm {\rm 0}{\rm .47}} \exp (- 56140 \pm 1460/1.987T)\sec ^{- 1} \\ {\rm}k({\rm 2 - methyl - prop - 2 - en - l - ol)} = {\rm 10}^{{\rm 11}{\rm .53} \pm {\rm 0}{\rm .67}} \exp (- 49680 \pm 2080/1.987T)\sec ^{- 1} \\ \end{array}$$\end{document}
