The alkaline pyrolysis of the vinyl monoethers of diols takes place at 170-250/sup 0/C and is accompanied by cycloacetalization (ethylene glycol, 1,3-propanediol), by processes involving cleavage of the C-O bonds (diethylene glycol, 1,4-butanediol), and also by the release of hydrogen, carbon dioxide, methane, ethane, acetylene, potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, and lithium hydroxide can result in explosion as a result of the vigorous and exothermic release of gas.
