Abstract
The thermal generation of oxygen atoms is very useful in organic chemistry. This reaction has now been observed in the oxidation of phenylcarbene with O2. Carbonyl oxide, frequently postulated as an intermediate, decomposes very rapidly, even at 8 K; this has been demonstrated in an IR spectroscopic investigation of the title compound in an argon matrix at low temperatures. equation image
