Pyrolyses of inactive and of 14C-labelled 2-methylstyrene at 700� are reported. Sixteen compounds were identified in the tar obtained following pyrolysis of the inactive compound, and nine of these were isolated in sufficient purity and yield for radiochemical analysis following pyrolysis of the labelled compound. Probable mechanisms of formation of these compounds are discussed.

The pyrolysis of [l-14C]styrene at 710� has given a tar from which nine compounds have been isolated in sufficient quantity and purity for radiochemical analysis. Four of these have been degraded to determine the distribution of the activity, and the results are discussed with reference to possible mechanisms of formation from styrene.

The pyrolysis of n-[σ-14C]propylbenzene at 700� has given a tar from which nine compounds have been isolated in sufficient quantity and purity for radio- chemical analysis; four of these have been degraded to determine the distribution of the radioactivity. Evidence is presented that there is an effective partial interchange of α and β carbon atoms in the formation of styrene, and probable mechanisms of formation for this, and other, compounds are discussed.

The pyrolysis of [1-14C]naphthalene at 700� has given a tar from which 1,1'-, 1,2'-, 2,2'-binaphthyls, and 10,11-, 11,12-benzofluoranthenes were isolated in sufficient quantity and purity for radiochemical analysis. All were found to have activity corresponding, within experimental error, to two labelled carbon atoms. It is concluded that carbon-hydrogen fission gives naphthyl radicals, which react with naphthalene to yield binaphthyls, and that cyclodehydrogenation of the binaphthyls leads to the benzofluoranthenes. A small amount of perylene was also identified; this was probably formed in the same way. Some 3,4-benzopyrene was detected; it is suggested that some hydrogenation of the naphthalene occurs, and that the 3,4-benzopyrene is formed following cleavage of a saturated carbon-carbon bond in this hydrocarbon.

The pyrolysis of [δ-14C]butylbenzene at 700�C has given a tar from which 18 compounds have been isolated in sufficient quantity and purity for radiochemical analysis. Five of these have been degraded to show the location of labelled carbon atoms. The results are discussed with reference to the mechanisms of the formation of the various compounds from butylbenzene.

The pyrolysis of [1-14C]tetralin at 700 �C has given a tar from which 21 compounds (or their derivatives) have been isolated in sufficient quantity and purity for radiochemical analysis. The mechanisms for their formation are discussed with reference to the number of labelled carbon atoms found.

The pyrolysis of [3-14C]indene at 700� has given a tar from which six compounds have been isolated in sufficient quantity and purity for radiochemical analysis. All were found to have activity corresponding approximately to two labelled atoms. It is concluded that scission of the weakest carbon-carbon bonds in indene gives three "primary" radicals which then undergo "dimerization" to give the major products.

In the first paper of this series (Burgoyne 1937) the kinetics of the isothermal oxidation above 400° C of several aromatic hydrocarbons was studied. The present communication extends this work to include the phenomena of ignition in the same temperature range, whilst the corresponding reactions below 400° C form the subject of further investigations now in progress. The hydrocarbons at present under consideration are benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, n -propylbenzene, o-, m - and p -xylenes and mesitylene.

The pyrolysis of anthracene at 700� has given a tar containing ten polycyclic hydrocarbons all of which are probably formed by the scission of carbon-hydrogen bonds to give anthryl radicals followed by further reaction with anthracene. The pyrolysis of anthracene at 950� gave a much more complex tar in which 25 aromatic hydrocarbons have been identified. The major constituent was found to be phenanthrene. It is suggested that this is formed via tetrahydroanthracene and tetrahydrophenanthrene. It is also suggested that the complexity of the tar is due to the scission of the saturated carbon-carbon bonds in tetrahydroanthracene and tetrahydrophenanthrene, followed by further reaction of the fragments.
