THERMOLYSIS OF STYRENE OXIDE ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Styrene oxide is heated under relatively mild temperature conditions to cause thermolysis. Such thermolysis produces substantial quantities of phenylacetaldehyde in the reaction product. The heating of the styrene oxide is accomplished in the presence of a small quantity of an alkaline earth metal sulfonate. Very small quantities of the alkaline earth metal sulfonate alleviate inhibitive tendencies of the reaction from styrene oxide to phenylacetaldehyde, while somewhat larger quantities markedly promote the reaction. Magnesium sulfonate and calcium sulfonate are preferred. Commercially pure phenylacetaldehyde is recovered from the reaction product.
