Abstract:

The thermal decomposition of acetylacetone has heen studied with MINDO/3 MO theory. The results obtained show that the enol forms are more stable than the tone forms; the activation energies of the reaction (1) and (2) are 210.250 and 225.501 kJ·mol~(-1), respectively.

Key words: Acetylacetone, Thermolysis, MINDO/3 method, IRC pathway
