Electrocyclic Reactions – Master Organic Chemistry

The isomerization of cyclopropane over a limited pressure range was examined in Problem 17B.13. If the Lindemann-Hinshelwood mechanism of unimolecular reactions is to be tested data is also needed at low pressures. This information has been obtained (H.O. Pritchard et al., Proc. R. Soc.
