The pyrolysis of 1,2-dimethylpropyl acetate has been studied in a static system in the temperature range 310–370° and pressure range 30–300 mmHg. The reaction is homogeneous, follows a first-order rate law, and is unimolecular, the rate constant being given by log [k1(s–1)]= 13·123 ± 0·006 –(45,570 ± 480)/2·303RT. The role of β-alkyl groups in eliminations from secondary acetates is discussed.
