Excited carbonyl formation in the combination and disproportionation of free radicals.

J. Biolumin. Chemilumin. 7(1) , 27-35, (1992)

The pyrolyisis of di-tert-butyl peroxyoxalate in the presence of para-substituted benzaldehydes produces almost quantitatively the corresponding p,p'-disubstituted benzils. The formation of these products is accompanied by chemiluminescence arising from excit...
