The oxidation of ethylbenzene near 1060K

摘要: Abstract Flow reactor data from the oxidation of ethylbenzene are analyzed to deduce major reactions involved in removing ethyl group. Three routes found: (i) direct cleavage sidechain followed by benzyl radical, (ii) displacement a radical species, and (iii) abstraction hydrogen group that leads formation styrene which removal vinyl occurs through or oxidative attack. Because importance mechanism, results also reported. The experimental used derive quantitative information on relative three paths linear regression equations derived with steady state analysis. Finally reaction sequence beginning shows strong analogy for ethane, suggests some alkanes can serve as guides understanding higher normal alkylated aromatics.
