Shock Initiated Pyrolysis of Nitrocyclopropane.

Abstract

The pyrolysis of nitrocyclopropane was studied behind reflected shock in a single pulse shock tube over the temperature range 850-1020K at pressures (p1) around 100 Torr. Post shock mixtures were analyzed by gas chromatography using Porapack N column and F.I.D. The main product of the pyrolysis is ethylene. Allene and propyne that should be formed as the result of nitrite elimination are at much lower intensities. No nitropropylenes which might be formed by ring opening (e-c bond cleavage) could be identified in the post shock mixtures.
