%X The pyrolysis of n-[&#963;-14C]propylbenzene at 700° has given a tar from which nine compounds have been isolated in sufficient quantity and purity for radio- chemical analysis; four of these have been degraded to determine the distribution of the radioactivity. Evidence is presented that there is an effective partial interchange of &#945; and &#946; carbon atoms in the formation of styrene, and probable mechanisms of formation for this, and other, compounds are discussed.
