N2  - The gas-phase decomposition of 2,3-dimethylbutan-2-ol into 2,3-dimethylbut-1-ene, 2,3-dimethylbut-2-ene, and water, catalysed by hydrogen bromide at 303-400°, is described. The rate is first-order in each reactant and the Arrhenius equation     k2 = 1011.88 exp(-26490/RT) sec-l ml mole-1  is followed. The olefins appear to be in their equilibrium proportions. The effects of substitutions in the alcohol at C&#945; and C&#946; on the rate are discussed.
