Abstract

The Norrish type I and type I1 reactions of alkylbenzoin ethers, alkyldeoxybenzoins and a- alkyldibenzyl ketones included within the microporous structures of zeolites X and Y have been investigated. Product distributions varied significantly from that observed in benzene. In addition, it differed between various alkali-metal cation-exchanged samples. These variations are interpreted to result from the restriction offered by the zeolite micropores on ...
