Abstract
Oxygen and hydrogen bromide catalyse the decomposition of 1-bromo-2-methylbutane. The relative proportion of the main reaction products, 3-bromo-2-methylbutane and 2-bromo-2-methylbutane, varies according to whether the decomposition occurs in a sealed tube or under atmospheric pressure. The decomposition of any one sample proceeds rapidly to a certain extent and then slows to a stop.
