The thermal decomposition of the title compound has been studied in the gas phase in the temperature range of 584–634 K. The decomposition was found to be a first‐order homogeneous process yielding 2‐methylbuta‐1,3‐diene and formaldehyde. The rate constants obtained at 11 temperatures within the quoted range fitted the Arrhenius equation\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ {\rm log}k/({\rm s}^{ - 1}) = 14.619 \pm 0.030 - (209.48 \pm 0.35)\,{\rm kJ}\,{\rm mol}^{ - 1} /RT\,\ln \,10 $$\end{document}The decomposition is probably unimolecular and concerted.
