The thermodynamic data for the decomposition of ITG is displayed in Table and are in close agreement with the values previously reported . The CDI elimination route (R1, R2 and R3) has endothermic nature, with ΔrH of between 144 and 176 kJ/mol, a property that has main contribution from the bond breaking upon CDI release, in steps R1b/R2b, during the first and second decomposition processes. In the third decomposition, the last step (R3c) exhibits the highest contribution to ΔrH, which is driven by the stronger interaction that is present in the adduct.
