The liquid‐phase thermolysis of 1,2‐dihydronaphthalene was studied in a batch reactor in the range of 350–400°C. The measured product distributions were in good agreement with calculations based on a free‐radical scheme with rate constants estimated by thermochemical methods. The kinetic calculations were carried out by numerical integration and by the long‐chain approximation (LCA), which yielded a closed‐form solution.
