Abstract

Irradiations of toluene and o-xylene in the CH₃ONO/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 RO₂ radicals leading to ring cleavage, are discussed in detail.
