%X The decomposition of 2,2-dimethoxypropane to methyl isopropenyl ether and methanol in the gas phase is catalysed by hydrogen chloride in c. 1% proportion at 226-364°C. The reaction is first order in each reactant and rates are given by the equation       kz = 2.3 x 1013 exp(-22200/RT) (s-1 ml mol-1)    The possibility of the reaction being a radical chain or surface one is discussed. However, it is believed to be homogeneous and molecular.
