Abstract:
The thermal decomposition behavior and reaction kinetics of dimethylhexane-1,6-dicarbamate (HDC) were investigated by TG-DTG, DSC and IR techniques. It is shown that the decomposition process can be divided into 3 main stages and the first stage is the thermal decomposition reaction for HDC to dimethylhexane-1,6-diisocyanate (HDI). The main gaseous products of the decomposition are CO(2) and CH(3)OH. The kinetic parameters of the reaction for HDC to HDI are Ea=119.51 kJ mol(-1), lg(A/s(-1))=14.82, respectively. The kinetic equation is d(α)/d(t) = 10(15.12)(1-α)(3/2)e(-1.4375×10(4)/T).

Stability of Conjugated Dienes
A comparison of the enthalpies of hydrogenation of dienes reveals that conjugated dienes release less heat on hydrogenation, rendering them more stable than their nonconjugated analogs.
Stability of Substituted Cyclohexanes
The two chair conformations of cyclohexanes undergo rapid interconversion at room temperature. Both forms have identical energies and stabilities, each comprising equal amounts of the equilibrium mixture. Replacing a hydrogen atom with a functional group makes the two conformations energetically non-equivalent.
