The relative thermodynamic stabilities of 2‐propenylbenzene (allylbenzene), and the E and Z forms of 1‐propenylbenzene were determined over the temperature range 50–170°C by chemical equilibration in DMSO solution with t ‐BuOK as catalyst. The values of the thermodynamic parameters Δ G ⊖, Δ H ⊖ and Δ S ⊖ at 298·15 K for each isomerization reaction between the title compounds were evaluated.
