Abstract
The equilibrium constants for the isomerization of allyl chloride to cis- and trans-1-chloro-1-propene have been studied at 573 to 651 K. The reaction was catalyzed by either I2 or a mixture of (HBr+5 mass per cent Br2): From these results the enthalpy of formation of 1-chloro-1-propene has been calculated (cis = -1.8, trans = -1.1 kcalth mol-1). The thermodynamic properties of the different allyl halides and 1-halo-1-propenes are discussed and the values of the contributions of the Cd-(H) (X) and C-(Cd) (H)2 (X) groups to the enthalpy of formation and entropy are calculated. It is suggested that the enthalpy of formation of vinyl chloride is actually (5.0±1.0) kcalth mol-1, rather than the currently accepted value of 8.4 kcalth mol-1.
