Abstract
In the pulse radiolysis of alkaline ethanol solutions the conjugate base CH3CHO− is not formed from the α-ethanol radical CH3CHOH, i.e.[Formula: see text]This is contrary to the observation in aqueous alkaline solutions of ethanol of a rapid equilibrium between CH3CHOH and CH3CHO−.The small quantity of CH3CHO− which is produced in the present system is consistent with the formation of the ethoxy radical CH3CH2O and its subsequent reaction with the ethoxide ion CH3CH2O−.
