The thermal decomposition of 3‐chloro‐3‐trichloromethyldizairine in carbon tetrachloride and iso‐octane has been investigated over the temperature range 75–115°C. The products, tetrachloroethylene and nitrogen, are formed quantitatively by a first‐order reaction which is probably unimolecular:The results yielded the following Arrhenius equations:\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$\begin{array}{l} k({\rm CCl}_{\rm 4} {\rm)} = {\rm 10}^{{\rm 13}{\rm .8} \pm {\rm 0}{\rm .2}} \exp (- 29,200 \pm 200/RT)\sec ^{ - 1} \\ k(iso - {\rm octane)} = {\rm 10}^{{\rm 13}{\rm .8} \pm {\rm 0}{\rm .2}} \exp (- 29,000 \pm 150/RT)\sec ^{ - 1} \\ \end{array}$$\end{document} .
