Bromination of 11-acetoxydibenzo[a,e]cycloocten-5(6H)-one (6) gave the 6-bromo derivative (8), which on further bromination gave a hydrogen bromide adduct (12 or 13) of 6,6,12-tribromodibenzo[a,e]cyclooctene-5,11(6H,12H)-dione (14). Treatment of this adduct with aqueous-ethanolic ammonia followed by sublimation gave 11-oxoindeno[1,2-c]isocoumarin (4), not dibenzo[a,e]cyclooctene-5,6,11(12H)-trione (3) as earlier suggested. The conversion of 12 or 13 to 4 has been shown to involve the formation of 3-bromo-2-(o-carboethoxyphenyl)indone (17), which gave 4 and ethyl bromide on being heated at 180°. Oxidation of dibenzo[a,e]cyclooctene-5,11(6H,12H)-dione with selenium dioxide gave a bimolecular product 25 considered to be derived by loss of carbon monoxide from the dimer of dibenzo[b,ƒ]pentalene-5,10-dione (27), a selenium-containing product, 28, and the hydrate 29 of 3.

Hydrogen bromide catalyses the decomposition of methyl formate into carbon monoxide and methanol at 390-460�. The radical chain decomposition product, methane, is formed in only a small amount that is further reduced by the addition of inhibitor. The reaction is homogeneous and molecular, is first order in each reactant, and follows the Arrhenius equation: k2 = 1012.50exp(-32200/RT)sec-1 ml mole-1 It is not reversed by added methanol.

Mesityl oxide (4-methylpent-3-en-2-one) thermally decomposes in the range 412-490� give methylbutenes, carbon monoxide, isobutene, and methane as major products. The initial 20% of reaction follows first- order kinetics and is described by the equation k1 = 1014.22exp(-63240/RT) s-1. A Rice-Herzfeld chain is proposed. Addition of hydrogen bromide leads to two reactions, one producing isobutene, carbon monoxide, and methyl bromide, and the other leading to polymerization. Likely steps in the polymerization are proposed.

Hydrogen bromide and hydrogen chloride catalyse the decomposition of methyl trimethylacetate into isobutene, carbon monoxide, and methanol at 370-442� and 450-48O�, respectively. The kinetic form, which is basically 1 : 1, is severely modified by the effect of methanol either produced in the reaction or added initially. Water or alcohols react with an intermediate in the catalysed decomposition of trimethylacetic acid or its methyl ester in esterification-like reactions; some of the resultant esters subsequently decompose to olefin and acid.

Alicyclic products have been obtained from geraniol derivatives in four ways: carbonylation of the intermediate borane either by treatment with carbon monoxide under pressure or by rearrangement of the cyanoborate under the influence of an electrophilic reagent; coupling under the influence of alkaline silver nitrate or by rearrangement of the bromo derivative obtained by photochemical bromination. The methods are compared and the nature of the products studied.

The gas-phase decomposition of ethyl bromide at 423� in the presence of both ethylene and hydrogen bromide has been investigated. These additives, which are also the products, each influence the rate strongly but in opposite ways. The variation of initial rate with reactant pressure is given by (P in cm) ������������� k1 (min-1) = 15.2x10-3+19.5x10-3(PEtBrPHBr/PEne)1/2 This has been interpreted in terms of a unimolecular decomposition together with a bromine atom carried chain reaction with simple steps that involve the products. Some insight into the unaccompanied decomposition has been gained. Some remarks about the role of olefinic inhibitors in reactions producing hydrogen bromide have been made.

The presence of hydrogen bromide during the photolysis of acetone sharply inhibits the yields of carbon monoxide, ethane, and volatile methyl radical derivatives as measured by the function (CH4 + 2C2H6). The observed effects can be explained on the assumption that both acetyl and methyl radicals react rapidly with HBr.
