The kinetics of the gas‐phase decomposition of 1,2‐epoxycyclohexane has been studied over the temperature range 680–740 K at pressures between 1.6 and 6 torr. Isomerization to cyclohexanone and 2‐cyclohexen‐1‐ol accounts for ca. 97% of the primary reaction products and occurs by first‐order, homogeneous, nonradical processes:\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ k_{cyclohexanone} /s^{ - 1} = 10^{14.58 \pm 0.35} \exp \left( { - 60,300 \pm 1,100/1.987T} \right) $$\end{document}\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ k_{cyclohexanone - 1 - o1} /s^{ - 1} = 10^{13.11 \pm .41} \exp \left( { - 55,800 \pm 1,300/1.987T} \right) $$\end{document}
