NON-ISOTHERMAL KINETICS OF THERMAL DECOMPOSITION OF A NOVEL ANTITUMOR AGENT 4-{5-[3,4-DIMETHYL-5-(3,4,5-TRIMETHOXYPHENYL)THIOPHEN-2-YL]-2-METHOXYPHENYL}MORPHOLINE

The thermal decomposition of a new antitumor agent,4-{5-[3,4-dimethyl-5-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)thiophen-2-yl]-2-methoxyphenyl}morpholine was studied by Differential Scanning Calorimetry(DSC)and Thermogravimetry(TG)/Derivative Thermogravimetry(DTG)methods at a flow rate of nitrogen gas of 120 mL/min,The kinetic parameters were obtained from the analysis of the corresponding curves by Kissinger's method,Ozawa's method and the integral method,The results indicate that the apparent activation energy and pre-exponential constants of the decomposition reaction are 106.67 kJ/mol and 10^6.19s^(-1),respectively.
