THE PYROLYTIC DECOMPOSITION OF ALKYL PHOSPHATES, N-ALKYLPHOSPHORAMIDATES AND N-ALKYL METHANESULFONAMIDES AS A SYNTHETIC METHOD FOR OLEFINS
Abstract
Since Kraft in 1883 first explored the thermal decomposition of esters as a means of preparing olefins, increasing interest has been shown in the pyrolysis of those com- pounds which can eliminate a functional group and a 3-hydro- gen to yield olefins. For the most part the interest in the reaction has been in its use as a general method for the preparation of olefins from alcohols without isomerization of the double bond and without extensive Wagner-Meerwein rearrangement. The literature pertaining to pyrolytic reactions in general and to olefin-forming pyrolyses in particular is voluminous. That portion of the literature prior to 1929 has been reviewed comprehensively by Hurd. No attempt will be made here to survey in its entirety the literature of olefin- forming pyrolyses; however, the several different methods now known for the conversion of alcohols or amines to olefins by pyrolysis of some derivative of these substances will be described and discussed briefly.
