Abstract

Solutions of 2,3-dimethylbutane (DMB) and cyclohexane containing a captodative solute, methylmethoxyacetate (MMA), were irradiated (continuous wave). Alkane dimeric products were analysed by capillary gas chromatography. G-yields were estimated as a function of the concentration of the captodative solute. By reaction with alkyl radicals, the captodative solute gives the free radical stabilized by the captodative effect. Combination reaction of this radical with itself or with alkyl radicals gives solute or mixed dimer which were also analysed. A large intensity effect was noticed, as was seen in the solutions of n-hexane-MMA. Dose effect was definitely rejected.
