2,3-Dimethylbutane has been pyrolyzed in a single-pulse shock tube. The initial steps appear to involve the breaking of carbon—carbon bonds. At about 1100°K the decomposition mechanism is as follows:[Complex chemical formula]The Arrhenius parameters for the bond-breaking steps are k1=1016.1exp(−76 000/RT)sec−1k2=1016.6exp(−81 100/RT)sec−1.
