Abstract

Irradiations of toluene and o-xylene in the CH30NO/NO/air system (used to generate OH radicals) have been found to produce significant yields of various C4 and C5 dicarbonyl compounds, aldehydes, and substituted furans. The mechanistic implications, that is, product formation via intramolecular reactions of the initially formed RO and R02 radicals leading to ring cleavage, are discussed in detail.
