The RRKM theory of unimolecular reactions is applied to the pyrolysis of spiropentane. The product distribution as a function of pressure, and the overall fall-off curves, are calculated on the basis of two possible detailed mechanisms. Either mechanism is found to fit the experimental data which, with new data presented here, cover the pressure range from 10–3 Torr to 1 atm.
