Abstract

-C&sCHO+ C&CH2OH+ 0 2 (3b), and CaHsCH202+ HOz-C&CHzOOH+ 0 2 (4) have been investigated using two complementary techniques: flash photolysis/UV absorption for kinetic measurements and continuous photolysis/FTIR spectroscopy for end-product analyses and branching ratio determinations. The reaction of chlorine atoms with toluene was found to yield benzyl radicals exclusively and was used to generate benzylperoxy radicals in ...
