The reactions of peroxyl radicals derived from diethyl ether were investigated by product analyses and pulse-radiolytic techniques. The products and their G values [in brackets] in the y radiolysis of diethyl ether M) in NzO/Oz-saturated aqueous solutions at 0.43 W kg-I are acetaldehyde [0.6], ethanol [0.6], ethyl acetate [2.8], ethyl formate [0.7], formaldehyde [0.4], hydrogen peroxide [2.1], 1-ethoxyethyl hydroperoxide [1.2], and 2-ethoxyacetaldehyde [- ...
