Shock-wave compression of carbonyl compounds

The state variables of material behind a shock-wave front in carbonyl compounds are calculated. The following versions are considered: preservation of the starting compound, its decomposition to water, methane, and carbon, polymerization, etc. Calculation results are compared to experimental Hugoniots. Conversions of ketones, acids, and esters with characteristic times of 0.001–0.1 $\mu$sec were observed at postshock temperatures of the starting compound above (1.1 – 1.3) $\cdot$ 10$^3$K. Vapors of the compounds decomposed in first-order reactions at temperatures above 2 $\cdot$ 10$^3$ K over the same times. Conversions of the anhydrides of carboxylic acids were observed at postshock temperatures of the starting compound above 1.6 $\cdot$ 10$^3$K. Their vapors decomposed in a first-order reaction at about the same temperature.
