The pyrolyses of trimethylethylene and tetramethylethylene have been investigated in the presence and absence of nitric oxide. It appears that apart from a unimolecular split, e.g.,a disproportionation reaction such asmay play an important role in initiation. Nitric oxide had no effect on H 2 production, which is probably a molecular process. There was similar behavior of both compounds in the presence of NO, indicating that the olefinic hydrogen atom does not play a decisive role. Other aspects of the mechanisms are discussed.
